I killed a 4 point buck in WV

I killed a 4 point buck yesterday in Mason County WV. I hunted with Bob Mays Sr. – my brother-in-law’s dad. It reminded me of hunting with my father. Dad taught me how to hunt when I was a little boy. We spent a lot of time in the woods together. I can remember hunting with him like it was yesterday. One time dad and I went to Mason County and we both killed a deer the same day. We tracked dad’s deer for 3 hours. We loaded our deer in his pickup and drove to Bob’s house. I took a video of Dad – we still have it somewhere. I'm going to look for it so I can watch it again. It was a great hunt and it was on the same farm (Bob's farm) that I was hunting on yesterday. As I walked the trails I remembered walking with dad. Those are great memories. Dad was such a good man. He loved mom, Jeanie, Susan and me. He loved Allen, Bob, Kim and all of his grandchildren. He loved us all and we are grateful for him. Dad died November 23, 2000. He’s been in heaven six years (earth time). We will see him again when Jesus takes us to heaven. Hunting with Bob Sr. makes me think of dad. Bob Sr. is such a good Christian man and I enjoy spending time with him. We are going to hunt on 4-mile in Ohio next Monday.
