Kyle's 1st deer
« on: October 22, 2009, 04:12:43 PM »
This is my buddy's 11 year old boy who killed his 1st deer on opening morning about 8:45 am. We were able to put a 3rd point on him so Kyle made an 80 yard belly crawl stalk to get to the barbed wire where he rested the rifle for a 50 yard shot. the first shot missed it's mark but the 2nd shot piled him up directly where he stood. It was truly a pleasure to be there to see our newest hunting partner take his 1st deer ever. His dad came home from Iraq in late august and they got his rifle sighted in in time for opening day. Thanks to Killbilly who helped get the gun and everything put together for Kyle while Dad was out serving our country.
congrats bud.

Awesome, it is a moment in a young mans life to treasure forever. Dion looks proud enough to bust.. and your smile tells it all. It is also fortunate that Kyle has the mentoring that it takes to produce a responsible Hunter and a lover of the outdoors. 
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.
He who shed blood with me shall forever be my brother.

MAN...

this is AWESOME!

I was lucky enough to serve in the same Company as the proud father. Ive never met his son but this is a great thing and awesome to have it captured with action photos!

Dion is a great guy and I have been on numerous combat patrols with him! I was able to select the group I could go out with for each mission and I almost always chose his group. He is a leader amongst lions of men and exactly the kind of guy you want beside you if the bad guy starts sending 7.62 your way!

To see him share this amazing first experience with his son is a blessing and hopefully a sign of 60 years of father and son hunting together!

Give Zach my best Jack and thanks for posting this thread!
