On our way into where our ground blind is set up, I spot a deer across the field. Closer inspection and it's a buck! We are about 700 yards out and the stalk begins. Hudson was revved up!

We are almost to where a clear shot can be taken from, but the buck is nowhere to be seen. Did it see us sneaking in? We set up and I begin to glass

A few minutes later I spot antlers poking out of the alfalfa. What a relief! Waiting for the buck to stand gave Hudson some time to settle down for a shot

After about five minutes, the buck is back on his feet and quartering away at a steep angle. He begins to feed and takes a few steps, now broadside at 200 yards. At the shot, the buck ran about 20 yards and stopped, Hudson was back on him and sent a second round. The buck was down within seconds and the emotions started flowing lol

I remember when my 2 boys were young learning how to hunt, probably the most exciting time of my life except when they were born.
Great job dad you have done a great job and your son did a fantastic job harvesting that mule deer buck. Congrats to both of you.
 
Good on both of you.

Hudson got a triple win out of that hunt,

First, he fulfilled his desire not to disappoint "DAD."

Second, he made a good shot, which means a clean, ethical kill.

Third, you both have a fantastic memory of a very important accomplishment that will last the rest of your lives.

You're a very wealthy man.
