Drew gets his 1st deer!!!

Today Drew finally got to shoot his 1st deer!! Jason took vacation this week and was determined that Drew was going to shoot his 1st deer this season. A year ago Will got his 1st deer so it was Drew's turn this year! Today, Jason checked Drew out of school and they headed to the farm. We have upteenmillion deer houses and they all have names. Today Jason took Drew to the Big Stand. They sat and waited, did homework and Drew said right when he finished his homework the deer walked out. They watched and then he shot 3 times. He missed the 1st time, the deer stood still, 2nd shot went right through his ear, the deer still didn't move then shot 3...right in the neck and the deer fell to the ground! I think Jason was more excited than Drew was! I am so excited for Drew! He has been talking about killing a deer all year! The deer was small with 4 points, I think, but that is perfect for Drew because he is small too! He even got to watch his daddy skin it. The nearest deer processor was half way to Luverne and from the farm that is about an hour drive. Bad thing is the deer had been in a fight and has a horrible infection on his head. We won't get to mount it but we will save the skull and horns and do something with that! Even after Drew's week started off a little bad it has ended just perfectly! Only 2 more days of deer season and our life can get back to normal! Also, today is Deeda's birthday (my dad) this post for today should have been wishing him a Happy Birthday but it gets pushed back to celebrate Drew's 1st deer! I guess this is a great present for Deeda though! We love you Deeda so Happy Birthday!! Way to go Drew...We are proud of you!!!
