The phone rang this evening and as soon as I answered it a young voice said, "Hi, Grandpa. Guess what. I got my first deer." While hunting with his dad and uncle, Javin shot a young male deer called a "button buck". He shot the deer just before sundown and after field dressing and tagging, Jason, Javin and Javin's Uncle Joe drove by our house so we could see the deer and take some pictures.
I don't know who was more pleased, the successful hunter or his father and mentor.
Jason, our son-in-law, began hunting at an early age and he's teaching Javin to handle firearms and hunt safely. Much of their annual meat supply comes from their harvest of wild game, including turkey and goose.
