Best boys and the 8 point buck!

This past weekend we went to the deer lease to get a break from life:) and Rich was there with his 2 boys Coby and Landry. The boys hit it off and played together all weekend! On Saturday afternoon Rich and his boys were headed out from camp to go the there deer stand. Rody headed into the camper to get ready to go out to and Rich calls him on his phone? He answers and Rich says "grab your rifle there is a big buck here in the field next to the campsite. If I get out and get my gun he will run away!" So Rody jumps up and grabs his gun and heads that way. He gets over there and he sees it but is hesitant because he feels guilty shooting it since Rich found it. So he looks at Rich and he motions to shoot! So Rody aimed and pulled the trigger! Down he went and all the boys got to be part of it! They all were so pumped up they could hardly contain themselves:) The next morning Rody, Dakota and Dylan headed to the "hilton" deer stand whiled Drake and I stayed in bed:) Rody had told Dakota that since he was the oldest that he would get to shoot 1st and then he told Dylan if anymore come in that he will get his chance. Well, they were hanging out in the stand and Rody happens to look out the side window and sees 8 doe come out from the thicket. He helps Dakota get the rifle ready and told him to pick one. Dakota aims and fires, hits her! She drops right there! Then, Rody notices that the others do not leave? They just hang around like nothing happened. So he get the gun and hands it to Dylan he aims pulls the trigger, NOTHING! Dakota forgot to reload. So they reloaded and the does were still there. So Dylan pulls the gun up, aims and fires! She took off running but the boys thought that he had hit her. So they ran out there and check out Dakota's deer. Dylan started searching for blood and found one drop on a leaf (all that arrowhead hunting has paid off!) so an hour later after they scared her up a couple times, they got a 2nd shot and she went down! By this time Drake and I are up and helping search so it was an awesome family memory!
