UMBY BAGS A BUCK

WARNING: MORE BLOODY DEER PICTURES

I guess Grant was Bethany's good luck charm after all because my baby girl bagged a buck. She, Grant and Chris were up even before the chickens Sunday morning to hunt on what was the last day we'll get to hunt this season. Chris and I knew we wanted one more deer to get processed to fully stock the freezer until next season, and we've been saving it for Bethany to have her shot at it. Get it. Shot?!? I know. I'm a comedian.

She would've been satisfied with a doe so was super pumped when a buck, a 6-point, walked out and she had the chance to shoot it. And she shot exactly where she was supposed to. I never in a million years would've thought this is something she would be into. I do think she thoroughly enjoyed herself. She's already talking about something bigger and better next season. :)

 

She wanted the full experience - even letting Chris put blood on her face. I was so glad Professor was there but there was a little competition going on. That's Grant behind her checking out the scales. He was ready to call "no fair" if hers was bigger than his. :) 

Way to go, Umby! It's now at Granddaddy's house for him to work his magic on a european mount. I think we're going to need a room just for our mounts once the other two follow suit.

I almost skipped this post when I read blood but I 'man uppped'. Glad Bethany had fun and shot one. Love the picture with Grant checking the scale :) Gotta love a boy's ego.

I'm with Paula on this one, but I had to see B with that blood on her face. Girlfriend can shoot, that's for sure. I'm muy impressed with her ability to stomach it all, and enjoying it at that. And Grant checking those scales is priceless!
