  old people are like great wise gods!!!  they have so much knowledge! one of my best friends is an 80 yr old lady called eileen, love her to bits, i met her about 10 christmases ago when I volounteered to take oldies christmas shopping, I was eileens chauffer, and we ended up in the pub instead of the shops and she was chatting up the bar man!!!  we stayed in touch ever since, she has such a past!!  she is a bit crazy now though, most times she doesnt know who she is....  its sad.

  Well, anyways,...... I had a moment like your talking about. 
  
  I had taken my boys hunting since they could walk to give ya some insight as to hunting and outdoor knowledge he had gained by his 12th birthday.
  
   We had been hunting the south side of a ridge line that ran for about 3 miles before dropping off into land only a goat would enjoy. And, that ground can be tiring even when your moving slow and trying to be as quiet as possible when we jumped three deer out of laurel.  I could have dumped one of the doe's as she turned back up hill directly  facing me, but I was trying to spot the buck that had been with the 2 does.
  
  About the time this young doe snorts and disappears down the hillside, a shot fills the air and a moment later ya can hear something (buck or doe ?) running full tilt thru the laurel and leaving only fleeting moments of a visual as the laurel shielding ability is amazing.
  
  I walked over to where my son had wandered to looking for sign and could plainly see that he had in fact obviously been fatally accurate to his target.  He was excited since it was his first deer showing me how big a rack the buck had by raising his arms over his head wide and spraying his finger to represent points...its funny thinking back on it, but that was just an opener as you will see.
  
  We tracked the buck maybe 60-75 yards and ran up on him with his head laying tilted regally showing it to be a seven point buck.  Nice buck in body size, would dress out to about 160-180 lbs, neck swollen as he was in full rut. (shot thru liver and one lung as the slug exited the rib cage just behind the shoulder).
  
  Well, we took some pictures, then sat about cleaning/dressing the deer out without to much ado.  When we finished, we dragged the carcass about 30 yards into some good sunlight and beautiful ridge line back drop, for a few more pics when my boy says...hey dad, lets lay the gun in the rack and I'll hold each side up from behind and take a picture ok ? Sure no problem, we get ready and once again he says, Dad,
  
  ..........we field dressed it too soon.  I asked why ?  his reply....while posing proudly
  
  " how are people going to know this is a buck, we cut his thing off too !"
  
  I dropped the cam laughing ....the damn fool had forgotten he was holding its antlers....lol
  
  So, yea, there has been a moment like urs...life's entertainment comes naturally and un expected as well...lol
  
  Great post.
