Deer In Memory of My Dad

[wbpdeer]

Wayne, I read your thread a couple days ago on your walk in cooler that you're building. I started to think that you don't even hunt deer. I mean how could you with so many tree projects going and now the walk in cooler? I thought you were Wayne the habitat guy that's just in it for the love of growing things. Now I see Wayne the hunter and read his story too. You're humble as you praise your son but you're leaving some big boot tracks for him to fill. That's a life lived well !
Also that's a great photo of your deer. One for the desk and one for the wall. Nice job!

I love hunting big whitetail deer. It cranks my engine. I am not going hunting tomorrow for opening day gun because I don't have a buck I want to shoot. Now I will be gun hunting in Ohio on November 28th. I would get a kick out of killing a doe tomorrow with a bow. That always cranks my engine. It is not fair for me to kill a doe when the Jackson is trying to kill a buck.

I will be working on my greenhouse tomorrow. Jackson will go hunting. Does it bother me to skip it? No, because I have Ohio on my mind. We bow hunted up there before election day and I know of three bucks I would tag and let the taxidermist mount them.

I had a tough job that I retired from. Now I get to do the things that I have great passion for. My lovely wife has been surprised - she was worried I would not enjoy retirement.

Thanks Russell. Welcome to this forum.

Always nice to see new people from far away places. What do you hunt in Canada? You ever hunt any Moose - my son is in for a draw in Alaska which will be announced in February.

Enjoy the ride and glad you are here.

I enjoyed the story Wayne. Great buck and an awesome tribute to your dad!

I know I wouldn't be out there doing what I enjoy so much if it wasn't for my dad and I'm thankful that he is still able to do it with me.
