Randy Keller – Illinois

The rut was just around the corner so we both were rattling antlers. I had one big buck come Running in on me so fast It caught me off guard. So I sat there dejected and running the scenerio over and over in my mind and after I quit crying I hit the antlers again.

After enough time to make me start weeping about my missed opportunity I rattled another VERY nice buck in and had plenty of time to get set and just wait.

After what seemed like hours he gave me the perfect shot.

Well with the wind , shooting uphill a bit well forget it I MISSED!!

So I had to make that call that every Dad hates and explain that I wasn’t the greatest hunter ever.

5 minutes after I made that humbling call Jacob calls me and says quote “Dad I shot a Hog!!”

After an hour of tracking we found his buck.

Guys, this is not a deer I took but I was more proud of that accomplishment of Jacob’s than of any I had ever taken.

Proof positive of what it means to tell each other “You Da’Dad!!!”
