Congrats!  Just finished up the doe meat from last year, and the kids (both mine and the neighbor's) made it clear they want dad to bring home another one this year.  And though I am hoping for a nice big buck this time, I always remind myself you can't eat the antlers anyway . . .

Thats awesome Chris...my daughter and I also got drawn for doe permits but ours are for the DCNF. We are pumped. I'm gonna try to take her to the lease this weekend for a crossbow hunt on youth opener. Then I will be in the DCNF on rifle opener and then the following weekend I will be back at the DCNF with my daughter to try to fill the doe tags. My hunting buddy will have his 3 boys out there on the second weekend, so we are going to have a big youth camp/hunt weekend. Will have plenty of pics when I return.

Well good luck to both of you (and those you're hunting with). Hopefully we'll all have some pictures and stories to share in the next couple of weeks and some freezers with some meat in them (although gman you might have to start giving the meat away pretty soon...j/k, it's already been a pretty good year for you).

Tight lines and true shots. -Chris

Good luck Chris...both my oldest son (Air Force) and I put in for doe permits for Caddo National Grasslands, for the second time he got one and the ole' man didn't but that's okay with me at least we'll be out there hunting together for the first time in many years....hope everybody gets the deer of their dreams this year.
