It may be small but.....

Brandon shot his first deer!! A few weeks ago Brandon went hunting with my Uncle Mark up close to Hailey. Here is how the story goes. Brandon got to Hailey on a Wednesday night to meet my Uncle who was already up there looking for a deer. They hunted all morning Thursday and say nothing, so they decided to pack up and search for a better hunting area. As they were driving down the road my uncle stopped and got out of the truck and started to point. Brandon of course stopped, but couldn't see anything. He got out of our little geo metro and finally saw two deer moving up the hill, but all he could really see was the white of the butt because the glare of the sun was so bad. My Uncle Mark told him that if he thought he could get it than to go ahead and take the shot. So my confident Brandon decided to take a shot and missed. Well for a second he lost the deer until he saw it run a little more up the hill, but the glare from the sun was still really bad that he had to guess where the head was by looking at the deer's butt. He steadied his gun by putting his bypod on the roof of the geo. He found where the deer's white butt was and raised the barrel of the gun just tiny bit and guessed that was where the deer's head was located and than BAM!! He shot the deer right though the back of the neck. Yep thats right he shot Bambi his first deer. He was so proud even though it was small he was on a high for days!! My Uncle was impressed that he got it because it was so hard to see. Babe I am so proud of you!!
