"Best Deer Day Ever"

Those were the words that came out of Joe's mouth last night when reflecting upon his day. Joe's day began by shooting a deer early in the morning on his first hunt of the season. Not only was it his first deer of the year, but it was also his first deer that he's ever gotten with a bow! He was super excited! And I was excited too because he gave the meat away so we didn't have to try to make room in our freezer for more venison nor did I have to see the deer! And of course I was also excited since I know it makes him happy to kill deer:-).

Then later in the day the four of us (Joe, Layla, Elv and me) went for a drive out by our house to look for deer. It wasn't exactly "deer shining" since we had to work around Layla's schedule and so it was light out for most of our drive. In one spot we saw 7 deer and 2 of the bucks were fighting/wrestling/butting heads/whatever you want to call it. That was the first time that Joe had ever seen that in real life--normally he just sees that in his hunting videos...which brings me to the next part of his deer-filled day. When we returned from our drive, Joe relaxed with Layla and watched his new hunting DVD. Oh, and I even found Layla some cute pink camo pants yesterday too! Oh, deer!!
