My son went out hunting for the first time tonight. After about an hour of sitting at the feeder, he gave up and headed home. He was almost back at the house and heard “some grunting” coming from the back yard. He slipped around the side of the house and saw two ten point bucks locked up about 15 yards from his position.
The poor kid got buck fever so bad his ears rang. Shaking, sweating... just couldn’t take the shot. It was all just *so perfect*!
For once, I didn’t jump all over him when he cussed. ;-)
I told him that it happens to most people when they get that perfect buck in their sights for the very first time.
I’m sure he’ll calm down. We’ll be eating venison by this weekend.
Heheheh A very good story :)
