A day to remember Opening day 2012

Opening day 2012 was a day I won't soon forget. After struggling to see many deer during bow it all turned around quickly. My son and I were doing radio checks on every hour to tell each other what we were seeing. At 10:00 he didn't respond , 10:05 nothing Shortly after he shoots once and I get a excited and barely understandable" I just shot at the biggest buck I've ever seen" He says huge buck , I shot at 200 yards. My 1st thought was he missed until he called and said it's flopping around in the field. He was about 200 yards from me so I walk up as quick as I can and find him standing next to his deer shaking. After a small celebration we field dress him and I go where he was sitting . I had the muzzleloader , he has the rifle. He talked me into taking the rifle which turned out to be a wise choice. At 1:45 I hear deer running and quickly see its a good one. As he was running through the field I yelled to stop him at 100 yards and missed ,good thing I took the rifle. As he ran back where he came from he slowed down at the edge of the woods and I didn't miss the 2nd time. Two nice 8 points from the same tree with the same gun. This day will be tough to top in the memories department .Gary
