WHAT A DEER...

Baby boy was offered a trip to Mississippi

with Mikie and the gang in hopes of seeing and

possibly shooting a deer.

There is only one thing this boy loves more than

hunting and that is his wife.

Other than that Rod would do anything to

hunt his life away.

So of course even though his Deda and him

had just got back from a quail hunt that they

had a blast at, he headed to Mississippi.

It wasn't even dark out yet when he called his Deda

on his cell still short of breath saying he had just killed

an 8pointer. I tell you the boy could not have been in

the stand long when he called.

Deda was so excited for him and when he hung up

the phone he was laughing for excitement for his baby boy.

I was touched and felt the throat well-up

to know that the first person he called still in

the tree stand, with his deer still running

was his Deda.

They must have had 10 phone calls between the two of them

in the next hour and finally I got to speak to him.

He was still full of excitement and I asked him

if he was shaking when he shot it.

"Shaking? My adrenaline was so pumped up I thought

I was going to throw-up!"

Rod was in his element, everyone should see

their men who love to hunt in this element.

You see another side of them.

Now I don't understand all the fun in it but

I associate their feelings with me going on

a shopping spree, that excites me!

Baby boy even lost his wallet and, for me, this

would have put a damper on my trip.

Not this child of mine,

he was not going to let that stop him from

enjoying his whole trip, enjoying his moment.

Thanks to my BFOB and his extended family for allowing

baby boy to hunt with you all.

He so deserves to feel this happiness and excitement

and I am so thankful that you guys gave him the chance.

I must brag to say my two boys are some awesome shooters,
