Caleb's Deer

Caleb shot his first deer this week and I am very proud of him! Before I met Carl, I barely knew the difference between a buck and a doe. Now I know the difference between a Boone & Crockett and a Pope & Young buck. I can explain the difference between a G2, and a G3, a split G4, a double brow tine, a drop tine, and a main beam. He has taught me the difference between a rub and a scrape. I can tell you all about the differences between typical and non-typical bucks and I know more about "THE RUT" than I care to admit. I know Bill Wenke, Bill Jordan, Michael Waddel, T-bone, and the Drury Brothers. Broadheads, fieldtips, knocks, trigger release, compound, draw-length, food plots, knocks, peepsights -- words I never heard of, but now I can give you a detailed definition. And I've learned how to do a load of scent-free laundry in no time flat! I love Carl's passion for hunting and the outdoors. He loves taking the kids with him to check his food plots, hang his tree stands, and look for deer sign.

He has taken Caleb hunting with him many times but this is the first year Caleb actually has his license to shoot a deer. Here is Caleb's first deer kill, but I'm pretty sure it won't be his last. Congratulations, Caleb! Awesome deer kill!

Congrats, Caleb, that is a nice deer! Noah wants to go hunting some time.

Janie, all of that hunting talk that you posted on your blog made me PROUD of you! You are a great wife to take interest in what interests your man! Way to go!!! =) (I'm not for sure that I could do as well quoting John Wesley's sermons. HA!)
