I own some property in Steuben County that I usually deer hunt on with my wife, however this year we traveled to Florida for Thanksgiving, so we missed out on a week of hunting.
My good friend mentioned to me that he had nowhere to hunt this year and I suggested he hunt my property in Steuben County since I wasn't going to be able to. He said it would be wonderful to hunt with his two boys again, since it has been many years since he has been able to do so. I gave them all permission to hunt and wished them good luck.
I got a text Thanksgiving Day morning from one of his boys saying they saw a big buck heading towards the stand their dad was in, and then heard a shot. Apparently dad was shaking so bad with excitement, he had trouble texting me an after-action report.
The buck that was taken was an 11-pointer and pictured below.
I can't tell you how great this made me feel that I was able to give the gift of a successful hunt to some good friends. One of his sons shot a doe on my property the next day; so now we are hoping for a trifecta to see if his other son can get a deer before firearms season ends.
