My son, whom we call Scrappy, ended up getting his first buck today(11/16/08)at about 2pm. Appropriately enough, this buck was also a "scrapper" having only one side of a full rack left.;) The day started out with not much promise due to blizzard-like conditions  which made visibilty very limited.

Ended up having 4pts on one side and the other had it broken off about 3" from the base. A true scrapper for Scrappy!!
