Skillet Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Got this 7 point last night. I was planning on holding out for the rut, but plans changed. Lost my Father in law suddenly on Wednesday. Only 73. My wife and him were best friends. From watching the bills every week, to constantly working on her 1974 VW bug, they were inseparable. She is devastated. So, I took the week off and spent it with her. Dealing with funeral plans, and family, and just letting her lean on me. She pushed me out the door to hunt last night for a few hours. She said I needed to do something for me, and take a breather. When this guy gave me a shot, I didn't hesitate. Thankful to have him. I don't plan on hunting much for the near future. Dad's are huge shoes to fill. I can't even come close, but I want to spend as much time with her as I can. Here I sit watching the bills, and I hate football. 49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Sounds like the old man sent a deer your way as “Thanks” and a “Take care of my daughter” Sorry for your loss and nice harvest!
