Jacob's First Buck!!

Early last Saturday morning, Jacob rolled out of bed (at 4:40 am to be precise), got in the car with Danny, and drove an hour to get to his grandparent's farm. He enjoyed a Cinnabon on the way...

then he put on all his hunting gear...

marched out to the field...

and climbed in this tree.

He waited almost 3 hours for that buck to come, but when he did, Jacob was ready...

He made his first shot...

the buck was still alive...

so he fired off a second shot, piercing it's heart and breaking it's front leg...

victory.

After two years of hunting and not even seeing a deer, he got his FIRST buck with his FIRST shot on his FIRST day of trying!!

So proud of him, now he is no longer a boy, he is a "bearded buck hunter!!" We will let you all know what venison tastes like after we figure out how to cook it!!
