We got out early this morning, despite the blanket's attempts to keep me under wraps. It had been tough for Peyton this year and he still had the skunk on him going into this last weekend, which was only open for juveniles/kids. We had not seen any signs of movement this week in the area we hunt, so things were looking grim going in. We got in the tree around 6:30 and at about 7:30 this lone spike screwed up and walked out into a clearing about 50 yards away. Peyton made the shot right in the boiler room and he flopped. No tracking this one and we were checked in, ate breakfast, and home to hang him in the tree by 9:00. He shot it with a 150 grain Fusion and it left a really nice exit.
On the way out this AM, he said he prayed and prayed for God to give him a chance today. I told Him to have faith and take whatever God gave him. I thank Him now for answering it in an awsome way! He is so good and we should never forget that it's all in His time. There's allot of life lessons that can be learned in the woods and on the water, I encourage everyone to take time with their kids or someone elses even though it's not always convienant or comfortable thing to do...
God Bless,
Jon
