Well all the hard work with carrying two 5 gallon buckets full of water up a steep hill the last 4 months to keep my 60 gallon cattle tank full near our stand site finally paid off in a huge way. I was doing all that work with the thought that it would get Jesse some awesome action and his first bowkill buck, after hearing the excitement in his voice as he told me about his best deer hunting night ever I would carry four times as much water up that hill all over again. He sat the stand tonight after our camera had been showing lots of deer activity and within 2 minutes he sent me a text that a nice 8pt had already passed through, not twenty minutes later he passed on a younger buck and then another 20 minutes go by and he texts me that he shot this buck that we had on camera exactly 72 hours earlier, he was pretty darn happy to say the least and he put another great shot on this deer with his bow; the kid is a crackshot with his bow, really sucks with a gun in his hand at deer, but really, really good with a bow for some reason, I have to admit since I was with him filming when he shot his first deer with a bow and he double lung smoked it (see picture above). I wanted a hunting buddy with a passion for all hunting that rivals mine and I maybe have found it, he seems like he can keep up and probably even show me up soon enough (little bastard). Best part is, it's not even November yet and we each have another buck tag in our pockets!!
