. Dad thought that it was real weird that way she was acting. She was just running all over the place and dad thought that she just needed to calm down a bit but she kept going in at the corn pile and coming out at the stand. About the 5th time, dad reached out and grabbed her. He held her by her cheeks and got right face to face with her and told her to calm down and hunt. All of a sudden, dad had this huge grin on his face and said " Well I'll be dang". When I asked what he was smiling about he pointed to Mocha's nose. Her snout was bloody. Dad said that either she had been to the deer or she had cut her nose on a briar. Dad said that it was time that I handled Mocha by myself so when she went in the woods, I was right down behind her. She would go a little ways and then stop and turn around to make sure that I was there. We were only about 30 yards from the stand when Mocha started really wagging her whole back end instead of just her tail. When I got right up to her I saw his horns 
. I hollered to dad and sissy that we had found him. That fool deer had just stepped into the edge of the lane and ran right to us but we never heard him crashing but I guess that we were moving around to get dad back in the stand. Anyway, he's not as big as I thought but still a pretty 7 pointer. I looked up and saw dad coming down the path with his cane in one hand and sissy's hand in the other. He had stopped to rest and was looking up. I'm pretty sure that I know who he was talking to 
. Y'all, my dad is a great man and I can only pray that I will turn out as good as him. I know this has nothing to do with the hunt but there are a lot of kids at my school that say stuff like " I have to spend the weekend with my old man". Can you imagine someone saying that about their own father? I feel so sad for them because it is not their fault that their parents split up. Dad says that he and mom are still together because they work hard at it and that makes the bad times easier . I don't understand it but if dad said it, it's true. I wish that every kid had a mom and dad like mine. Me and sissy are lucky kids, we are blessed because they make sure that God stays in our house all the time . I hope that I can say this on excalibur. Dad, I sure do love you and appreciate everything that you do for us and I know that your friends here think a lot of you too. I wish that I could take your pain away but I can't so we will keep praying. Your a great man dad and I wouldn't trade you for nothing in the world.
OK, I'm sorry that it took so long to type this but I am slow on the keyboard. Here is a picture of Sissy and I cutting up with my buck.
PS. Yea dad, Mom helped me put what I wanted to say on this post while you were napping. My grammer isn't this good on my own
.
I hope you do something nice with the antlers.
