Default My son Josh gets another one with his bow....

My son Josh has been makin' me proud for several years now (never gets in trouble, good grades, good attitude). He had a few rifle kills under his belt when he took up bowhunting. He shot two does last year and a huge merino ram earlier this year.

We went hunting a few weekends ago at my new lease in Schleicher County near Ft. McKavett/Eldorado.

We had several does and young bucks in front of us as shooting light was fading. I asked Josh if he wanted to shoot a doe and he quickly grabbed an arrow!

He's shooting a 52 lb. Mathews Mustang with a 25" draw. He had a Blackhawk Vapor arrow with a NAP Thunderhead broadhead.

I watched his breathing get a little heavy and then he put his game face on. The arrow was on the way and Josh made a perfect shot behind the shoulder. The doe ran off with about 7 other deer. They were headed for a large ranch which borders us about 200 yards away. The doe only made it about 50-60 yards and fell over.

We loaded her up, put her on the golf cart and headed back to camp with smiles on our faces!

I didn't take up bowhunting until I was about 34 years old....so for one of sons to have taken 4 animals with a bow at 14 years old just makes me giddy!
