Here is Josh with his first deer killed at the house! He thinks that she's the 2nd largest doe he's gotten. I pulled our last package of venison burger out of the refrigerator last week. I said, "No pressure, honey, but we're completely out of burger." I was counting on him getting one over the weekend.

Claire was thrilled because Josh let her "track" the deer with him. She was so excited to follow the blood trail! She can't wait for him to take her out in their tent blind that he purchased so that he could take the girls with him. She's a proud daughter...and he's a proud papa.

And we have this new, fun toy as well. It was purchased to take the kids for rides and haul dead deer plow the snow-covered driveway in the winter.
Congrats on your first doe on your own property! Many more to come, I'm sure :)
