Opening Day ~~ Deer Season

Aaron left yesterday to spend the weekend with my parents as today is OPENING DAY of deer season!  For those that aren't from this area, deer season is practically a sacred holiday!  Kids are even excused from school if they're going hunting!  

For at least the last five years, they've gotten NOTHING!  Aaron has been rather bummed out by that, to be sure.   Well, this time, my brother, Johnny, managed to find them some private land to hunt on.   Yippee!    

At 8:30 this morning, my mom called -- THEY GOT ONE!!!!    

I talked to Aaron a little while after that.  Turns out just after walking into the woods, Johnny saw it and shot!    I'm bummed that Aaron didn't get it, but that's OK.  This was his first experience with gutting one, so he still has something to talk about!  They continued hunting for a while and may go back out this afternoon.  They have a bunch of tags to fill up and Aaron is bound and determined to shoot one himself!  

Here's a picture of the deer Aaron sent me from his phone:




I'm so glad he had his phone with him and could take pics and send them to me!   How cool is that!

Doing the Happy Dance here!
