The children discovered an 8-point buck just on the other side of our chain-link fence. Bow season started on Sept. 1. Perfectly legal for dh to shoot.

G: Get it, get it!

C: I want some deer meat!

L: I wanna try some!

J (with big, watery eyes): Please don't kill it, Daddy. He's a good boy.

Dh put away his bow.

(OK, the lack of freezer space helped in the decision. ;) )
