Updated to say archery kill, not buck. Im jumping ahead a little saying archery buck lol!
My 12 year old killed his first deer with a bow on Monday evening. Needless to say I was very proud. I've always sat with him while rifle hunting but sitting with him and watching him draw on a deer just as calmly as a seasoned professional was awesome. He's worked hard practicing for a while now. I set up a family traditions ladder stand at the house and fully rigged the tree with a life line, bow pull up rope and an easy hanger to simulate everything he needs to learn (also make him wear a HSS Safety Harness). Then I put a 3D target at 20 yards and he has been practicing by himself with me watching. Very proud.. Better than when I kill one by myself!
