Deer Hunter

My nephew Caleb completed a rite of passage over the past weekend.

Here's the text from sister Kay's email:

My boy went out today and he came back a man. He won't stop grinning from ear to ear. He and Clayton went out for only about an hour and they got a hot tip from a friend that they had just saw a buck down the road. The rest is in the attachment. 5 points and one clean shot and a happy man. They went back out and have been gone all day. Caleb is very proud.

Yes, note that big smile--Caleb's, I mean.

Also note the swingset in the background, a symbol of childhood left behind.
