Back in the comfort zone on the family farm in eastern Nebraska for a week of rifle season with my son Kenny. We are fortunate to have some really nice timber / pasture / crop lands to hunt on my family\'s century owned farm. Bucks were running does all week and the time passed quickly for my son and I. Before we knew it we were down to the last day of the season and with a nice snow the day before we were anxious to see what the last day would bring. The morning hunt was good with 20+ does seen and a handful of bucks, just nothing big enough to consider. After lunch and a quick nap at the farm house we set up on a corn field bordering the timbered pasture behind the house that evening. After seeing 8 does and two small bucks we were getting close to prime time and out walks a nice doe trailed by the kind of buck we were hoping for. The shot would be 210 yards, Kenny was up to the task. His Savage 243 made quick work of the buck and he dropped where he stood. I think Kenny\'s smile says it all.

Thanks!!! Since Kenny started hunting my duties are primarily as chauffeur, guide, tracker and pack horse for Kenny :upthumb: While I do have a doe tag (valid for archery, rifle and muzzelloader) I purchase one as the law requires that Kenny hunt with a licensed adult on his youth tags.
