Well, not sure if it is real funny story but most folks get a little laugh out it. My son had been begging for a couple of years to take him bow hunting for deer. I taught him to shoot at a few years earlier and he had become a proficient shot with a bow. I set us up for a hunt on a friends property in some prime Kansas deer territory. I kept telling my son you can hunt for years and not get a buck with a bow (I have been bow hunting for 15 years with bows and have only a few bucks and one 8 pointer to my credit) but we may have shot at a few does but that was not guaranteed. Opening morning, I drive to about 100 yards from the double tree stand, get him settled in and harnessed, told him to just sit still and I would be back in 15 min after I move the truck to the end of the field, he asked if he saw a deer could he shoot it, I told him sure, if it has bunch of antlers, you can shoot it, but I warned him that no deer would be around for a while since we were still moving around the area. It was just breaking daylight as I started walking back, as I started to climb the stand, he looked over and asked if he could come down, I thought, great, he only spend 15 min in the stand and wants to go home. I told him sure, but if we are going to be serious and hunt we need to get in the stand and stay for a while. He looked at me stated, you told me if shot a buck we are done for the season, well I shot one over by the edge of the field. I told him that was not a funny joke and we need to get back in the stand. He said I will show you where I shot him, so I told him OK, show me. We walked about 30 yards along the edged of the woods, and to my astonishment, there lay a 11 point buck dead a a door knob, arrow sticking out the base of his neck, hit cleanly in the spine. I am speechless, my looks at me and said, can we go again next year this is a lot easier than duck hunting.
