Nicholas and I loaded up after church yesterday and drove to Erick to hunt with our good friend, Don Loyd. This was the last day of a special doe weekend where Oklahoma hunters are allowed to harvest one additional doe before packing up the gear for the season.

If his dad was half-a-shot, Nicholas would be telling you this story while chewing on a fresh piece of deer jerky... but it just wasn't meant to be.

We still had an incredible time.

There is nothing like sitting in a blind with your son in one of the most beautiful places on this earth. The highlight was walking back to the truck at night, holding my son's hand, under the cover of a million stars.
