There are two trophies of which I am very proud. They are of forked horn Blacktail deer taken on the Oregon coast by my two children.

My son has continued the hunting tradition and has taken many fine trophies of his own. He carries on the family Hunting tradition. He and I will be going down to Texas this spring for varmints and turkey's.

My daughter's trophy is her one and only. She took it 50 yards from where we parked the truck on her first ever day of hunting. She's not into guns or hunting now. But that little set of horns mounted on a plate that she took 20 year ago is proudly displayed on the wall in her home.

There is another trophy to be taken inthe future that I am sure will rate right up with those two. My one and only grandchild, my granddaughter has asked me to take her hunting like I did for her mom.

That indeed will be special.
