John C. Henneberg and his father, Werner Henneberg, had a successful opening day Saturday in Canenovia.

The son wrote: "This past opening day was the first one that our family harvested two buck on the same day. My Dad shot a 6 pointer around 9 a.m. He decided to walk around because he was getting cold and walked up on him.

"I helped him clean it and pull it out of the woods. Around 1:30 I walked back out into the woods (it was all I could do to avoid my honey-do list) and walked up on a nice 7 pointer checking a scrape.

"Both deer were taken on our family property in the town of Cazenovia.

"My Dad doesn't know how to work his camera so the date stamp says 02/02/2008, which is way off.

"We both live in the Town of Cazenovia about a mile away from each other.

"My Mom Shirley even helped, she brought the tractor out to help get them out. He's 69 years old and I'm 29. He taught Bow Hunter Safety courses for many years which ended about 10 years ago.

"He had some serious health problems in 2009 and he hasn't shot a deer in 4 or 5 years, it was a nice father-son experience to share on opening day."
