Another one bites the dust

This post is for my wonderful husband. Every Sept he gets the hunting itch and I think no matter how many times he could go out into the bush, either scouting or hunting, he would like to do more;)
After a successful hunt during our holidays he was going for antlers, not just meat for the freezer. When he caught the above picture on the motion and infrared sensitive trail camera he was even more excited to go out hunting.

During the shotgun season he was able to go out only once, but it was enough!!! He got a nice mature buck with a clean shot right into the heart (sorry to you sensitive people:).

Jeff's first buck! We were all very excited for him.

The girls were not at all squimish about the dead deer that Jeff brought home in the back of his truck. They wanted to climb in as well and did a thorough inspection of the body. For some reason they were fascinated by the fact that the eyes were still there and we had to keep telling them to not poke them, or touch the tongue, or other unmentionable body parts.

Katie was at school when we took Jeff's proud posing pics, but Maya had fun to be included in the photo shoot.

If you look at the tip of the left antler you can notice a small dip. Go back to the trail camera pic and you'll notice the same. This is a rare occasion that you get a picture of a nice buck and a couple of days later you actually get it. Way to go Jeff!!
