I passed hunter's safety in 2008. the next fall was my first deer hunt.

We got up at 5:00 and went to our spot. It was cold and windy. we hunted till about 10:00. we saw some bucks, but I couldn't get a shot. then, we spotted a herd of mule deer about a half mile away. I belly crawled about 250 yards, and I shot the biggest buck of the herd. I shot him in the neck with my 243 using my dad's shoulder as a rest. I was so excited!!! I was jumping up and down!!
Here are some pictures.

Nice pictures and what a nice deer your Dad has to be very proud of you. Hope you get an even bigger one next year so your Dad will have to work hard to beat you.

JR told the short version. That stalk took about an hour. Just the belly crawling part was 250 yards...

That looks like a great start to a long career. Are you going turkey hunting hunting this year? Good luck and nice deer.

P.S. Tell your dad to quit throwing wrenches at you..

Great job Bud. One Shot one kill is pretty impressive, a lot better than most of my friends

PathfinderJR · « **Reply #20 on:** June 12, 2010, 12:43:08 PM »

well, my rifle is a single shot... not much choice.

maybe next year dad will get me a machine gun.

benhuntin · « **Reply #21 on:** June 12, 2010, 04:50:12 PM »

Make the first shot count and you dont need a machine gun, BUT machine guns are fun to shoot

steen · « **Reply #22 on:** August 07, 2010, 05:24:35 PM »

Awesome, looks like you are handy with a knife also.

If by "handy" you mean that he has all his fingers, then...yes...
