    Default Hah! My oldest son got a buck!

    ....and hubby and BIL have been skunked so far.

    My DH and BIL are up at our cabin (UP of MI) and have been hunting for a week. (well, 6 days).

    DS#1 (age 27) flies into the airport last night, up there (he lives in CA) and goes out this AM, hunts 50 minutes and gets a buck. LOL! He has always been lucky that way.

    I'm sure they'll all give up now, come home and dirty my house up again. But, I don't care because it will be so GOOD to get my arms around DS again. I only see him a couple of times a year. DS#2 is driving up from FL, also. Yay!!

    Just a funny side note, when I saw the title, I thought "a buck, what's the big deal over a dollar?" Then I read the story and went "Ah ha!"

    Haha, since DS cannot safely get his deer back to CA, and we have enough, the deer will be donated to needy families in that area. There's an agency up there, I can't remember the name.

    And I did not get it until this very post....sad, I know. I kept thinking...what, did they have a bet on who would get one first and the bet was for a dollar?

    Guess you can tell I do not come from a hunting background nor do I know anyone who does it. LOL

    Yahoo to your son who got the first buck. I think that it is awesome that you are donating the meat for people less fortunate than yourselves!

    I know.....I have mixed emotions about Bambi and his family. But it's a father/son, father/daughter tradition in DH's fam.

    Before I married DH, I wouldn't have gotten it either. I guess I could have worded it differently, LOL.
