Congratulations Mitchell, what a great way for a dad and his son to spend time together. I am sure your dad is even prouder of you than I am. And I bet he had a great time gutting "his son's" deer. With a bow, and a buck no less!!! I'm proud of you buddy and thanks for letting your father gut it for you if he wanted to, we to soon we lose our children to adulthood and if he is like me we want to just keep helping. It sometimes hurts when your kids don't want the help. As I said, all to soon they are doing everything themselves. You will have plenty of deer to clean, more than your father will have to help you with. Let him have fun helping if he wants to, he deserves it for raising such a great son....<><.... :grin:
