Andrew's Big Buck!

Jamie took Austin and Andrew hunting this past weekend, as it was opening weekend for gun hunting here in Wisconsin. The guys hunted on Saturday in Nelson, but only saw one deer between the three of them that day. Jason was kind to offer the invitation to join them hunting in Indee on Sunday, so the guys headed to Treampleau County to look for some deer. I guess the deer were roaming the hills in that neck of the woods--Austin saw over 20 deer on Sunday and Monday! (he is a bit picky, and the 6-pointer he saw just wasn't quite big enough to shoot!)
Andrew was hunting with Jamie, as this is Andrew's first year of hunting. He must have been sitting in the right spot, because he was fortunate to have a nice buck come by his stand! Andrew is a great shot--he got the buck right in the heart! The buck probably was a 10-pointer, but you can see where some "tines" broke off of the right side of the rack, so the buck officially has 8-points--5 on one side, and 3 on the other. It weighed 160 pounds after it was field dressed.
Here are some pics of Andrew and his first buck...
