This is Brett’s first buck since he has taken up hunting. A few weekends ago he got his first deer ever and it was a doe. She had a lot of meat on her and was a great size. This buck was his second deer for the season and it was a really good size buck. As you can tell it is an 8 point buck and had a great form. Brett shot this buck from about 200 yards away with a 30-06 rifle. He took it that afternoon to have the head mounted. Brett cuts up all of his meat himself and I must say it is a long process. Though it is long and time consuming he really enjoys cutting his own deer so he can get the meat his way. Brett is really, really enjoying his new sport and that is all he seems to be able to talk about. That same weekend Brett went to Arkansas with one of his best friends Marshall and his father Tommy Fuson to their duck lease. The weather was to nice so they did not get any ducks. How funny is that, the weather was too nice which means that it was to warm for the duck and they did not get any. I am sure they will be making another trip soon to get ducks. Brett has no preferences on what he hunts; just that he gets to hunt altogether!!! His freezer is packed full with deer meat and that seems to be all he eats these days. He is always on the look for a new recipe on how to cook deer meat, along with always on the look out for a great place to hunt. I also should tell you, Brett is really enjoying his hunting for more reasons then just the kill. He is such an outdoors man, so he is really enjoying the nature and its beauty that surrounds him while he is out there. He takes so many pictures of the wildlife and the forest that surrounds him. One exciting animal that he has seen are bald eagles and their nest. Which I think is so cool. Hunting has really relaxed Brett and is very calming for him. After a hard week at work it is very soothing for him to be out there and taking all there is to see in.
More post will come along after Brett’s next kill. And for those of you wondering, we are still discussing where his new deer head will be mounted in the house!!!! I will let you know of the outcome….

great job brett!!!
I am so glad that Brett has found a new hobby that he can enjoy, other than baseball since he has so many injuries. I cant say that I dont feel sorry for the deer, but I guess as long as he eats the meat it isnt in vain. The deer is beautiful! Great job bro! Thanks for posting these, I couldnt tell much on my cell phone pic.
Woohoo! Way to go Brett!
