Son's first deer '08
« on: January 11, 2009, 07:57:51 PM »
Okay I am moving to the next step in my huntwashington career and will try to post my first pic all by myself. If nothing shows up sorry will try again. THe pic I am trying to post is of my boy who passed hunter ed this last spring and finally got to officially hunt this fall. He has been following me around since he could walk and has gotten hunting in his blood now for good. He says now that he got the first one out of the way he can trophy hunt next year. The pic says it all it was a sweet moment. nwhunter

He was stoked and wanted to try his hand and dragging it to the road too. He though it was pretty big bodied for a blacktail spike! Fun times.

Awesome job. Definitely something to remember. Looks just like my first buck. These pics made me have a flashback to '86. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats! That has to be one of the greatest feelings when your kid shoots thier first deer. I hope to add another one to the list if she can get over the loud "Boom" from the gun, she hates loud noises.

Me too. Lever action Model 94 30-30.  Congrats to both of you.  I know dad probably did some work to get the boy in front of his first buck.  I had the same experience this year with my son.  Never been as proud of anything I shot as I was of my son's first deer.

Congrats on your first buck.  Love the 30-30 lever action.  That was my first deer riffle.  Keep up the good work.
