Curtis Caldwell gets a birthday buck

Joey Caldwell sent in this shot and great story about his dad:

“Hunting in his hometown hotspot in Giles County, Curtis Caldwell took this nice 10-point buck on his 60th birthday, November 3.

After a quiet morning, Curtis took a lunch break at the cabin, but he was eager to get back in the woods. That eagerness paid off. Shortly after returning to his stand, this buck was working a doe and they were headed his way. After a good shot and short track, he was back to the cabin to hang yet another one from a long line of good bucks he’s harvested over the past 10 plus years.

His grandson, Andrew, is pictured with him on this special day.
