Destry a 13 year old, fun, full of life, young man, is already making his dreams come true. Here's the proof!
At home before he came he was shooting the Mathews Reezen bow that he had bought from Ken this spring. And shooting mighty well I might add..
When he got to Tarbone Ranch, Ken made him prove he could shoot before the hunt. He his center spot on the first shot.
Destry loves the outdoors. He's happiest when he's hunting, fishing, trapping, chasing, shooting and learning about the outdoors. I see TV hosting in this boy's future.
Ken made a few adjustments to Destry's Reezen before the hunt to get it tuned up perfectly.
It's early morning the day of the hunt. He's sleepy, but wired to 220V.
Destry and Joe exchange hunting stories.
Joe, Destry, Dad Destry, Mimi, and Ken.
Just before the chase started.
Just after the chase ended. Dad Destry, PROUD of his boy!!!!!
We found the back half of Destry's arrow after the shot took the bull down.
We had a good time following the blood trail.
Once again, here we are preparing for the hunt.
That's a big smile and big bull.
Mimi and Dad Destry shared the happy moment when the bull was recovered.
The magnificent bull was a 7X7 that scored 387 2/8" green.
You know grandma Mimi had to give the boy a smack on the cheek.
Even I enjoyed the recovery of the bull.
After the bull was recovered and being processed for the taxidermist and butcher shop, the WomenFolk started a pickle making party.
That's a garlic clove peeler. What a fabulous invention.
