My son killed this one just outside of Broken Bow this evening:

It was a tall rack, but only 5 points. I believe it is an older deer, past prime. Probably would have been a nice trophy rack a couple of years ago.
Anyway, three generations of us have gotten deer this year: my granddaughter, my son, and myself.
My son never cared much for hunting growing up, but he started getting buck fever a couple of years ago. He killed a little basket rack 8 point last year, and now this one.
BTW, he will always carry a little reminder of this deer on his forehead. Scope cut. No stitches required but it'll leave a small scar.

pulp congrats to you,your son & grandaughter thats great that all three of you got one

A lot of us have those that care to admit. I got mine when I was 15. I was in a stand that was about 25 feet up. A deer appears to my extreme left and I cant turn to shoot. It was a very cold morning and I had a heavy coat on. I didn't get my gun in my shoulder just on my arm and boom. Luckily my sling was wrapped around my other arm. My dad comes over 5 min later. Looks up in the tree and says "Scope bit ya huh" Blood was running all down my face and all over my jacket no stitches but got the scar and missed the deer.
Great story and pics Sticky and welcome aboard! Nice pic of your son too Pulp. Can't believe he got a scope cut from a .243. I didn't think they kicked that hard. It will be a good memory though...LOL.
