My boy got his first deer
« on: November 08, 2008, 10:22:43 PM »
well we came over to the eastside for bird and deer hunting. spent yesterday looking for a deer for the boy and around noon we found him a nice doe. he made a 40 yard shot and hit her right between the eyes. not the exact place i told him to aim for, but what the heck she droped right in her tracks. was pretty cool to watch. i'll post some pictures when i get back to the west side. the kid is on a roll this year. :hunter:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

at least he didn't waste any meat with his shot!  He'll remember that for the rest of his life, congrats young man.

That sounds exactly like my first shot on a deer. aimed right at the shoulder and the bullet somehow curved up and hit her in the head.  :rolleyes: Congrates to you and your son.

The first deer I ever shot was at 9 years old and it was a really nice doe that I shot going up the Chapoka grade in GMU 215. Still remember it, 4 shots later, little over excited. One miss, one in the guts, two in the head for good measure.  :chuckle: I cant wait until my girls start seriously hunting. The oldest 3 loves going with me but gets cold easy.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
