I Got One!

As most of you know, Jordan is a big hunter. He goes hunting whenever he can. Unfortunately, this year he has not been much of a threat to the Louisiana deer population. So, you can only imagine how envious he was when he saw what I got!If it had its other antler it would be a 6 point! He weighed about 130 pounds.
I got him at about 10:00 at night while driving down the interstate coming home from Covington. It was just me and the boys and we were going about 70. I didn't see him until he was in my windshield. Thankfully we were only a mile or so from Denham Springs. We weren't hurt but my car is banged up. I don't have a picture but it looks like a huge animal took a big bite out of the front left of my car, it's just gone.
The deer landed in the median, the tow truck guy and Jordan loaded him up and brought him home.
Yep, he's hanging on our swingset and now he's in the freezer. I told Jordan that someone had to put on the table! He will officially be our most expensive meal.

Way to go! Nate's pretty upset that he traveled all that way and you got the first deer. I expect some deer jerky in the mail...consider it a christmas gift! Hope your car is okay. Talk to you soon.
