Special Day - Buck Down

[Newtonlt2]

Hey all. My Dad passed away in June of this year. His passion for the outdoors fueled my fire to become a hunter. As he got older, he used a crossbow to hunt deer. When he passed, I took the scope from his crossbow and put it on mine so that we could still hunt together. First sit. I literaly felt like I was looking through my Dad's eyes thru the scope. 

This healthy buck came in and didn't go 40 yds after the shot. Not my biggest. But. The most special I have ever harvested.

Thanks Dad.
