Wow, awesome story and buck! Sorry for the loss of your Dad. What a way to honor his legacy and his memory.In 2020 my father died suddenly. This is the man that tought me to hunt fish and the out doors. Well he left me a some stuff behind with passing. So in his memory I bought 88 acres. On this land there is a large oak tree I fell in love with. I said this is the spot! I built a cross had a little gathering and on opening day of ky bow season 2020 we spread my father's ashs on my new farm under the big tree and placed his cross. Fast forward a year 2021 I have a deer showing up around my dad's tree. I said if i kill a deer it has to be this one it full velvet out of dad's tree or I'm not ending my season this early. In ky we only get one buck tag. I did not want to damage the tree and its to large for my straps on my climbing sticks so I leaned a ladder against it and said if its ment to be it will happen. Well it happened I climbed the ladder tethered in to a limber and just stode on another limb of top of my father's ashs he walked by at 20 yards I double lunged him. And watched him fall at 60. Like I said I'm not a spiritual person but idk what else to say my dad was with me and i will never forget that hunt. Tuesday we go see the taxadermist
Congrats! Epic story, I've had moments like that as well. For me it's owls. My grandmother loved owls. Every time I have a close encounter with one while hunting I kill a buck.In 2020 my father died suddenly. This is the man that tought me to hunt fish and the out doors.
