So proud of my little man ! Perfect shot on his first deer I’ll post the details later …. So here’s the story…. As yall know “The Boy” has been taggin along with me before he could walk we’ve killed 4 or 5 deer together, But this year after practicing all summer with his kindergarten graduation gift ( aint that a good excuse ) It was his turn on the gun !!!! We got up early and got in an hour early ( stand is on beans and a bait pile deer is close ) We watched deer on the cell camera while in dark and of course they eased off before he could get on em ( legal shooting light but wasn’t comfortable with him shooting ) ….. Well about 5 min later this girl eases in after what seems like 5 min he says I see her !!!!I ask him can you kill her? He calmly says Yes … I click safety off I ask again “ you got her ?”…… Cool as a fan he says “YES” I say go ahead, He shoots she mule kicks !!!!He says Daddy I just shot my first deer I can’t breathe I’m shaking in my insides!!!!…..We wait 15 min under much begging and pleading to get down …. He leads me to shot sight , and there it is 3 drops of bubbly blood …… so we walk the trail she left on ( so I thought) …. No deer no blood …… we come back to impact sight I bend down and those drops of blood have bone in em I’m gettin a little nervous, we find trail and follow it 35 yds to A big doe with her off side shoulder blowed out ( The 7mm08 reduce recoil performed great) … Me and the boy kneel over his first deer , we talk about her giving her life to feed us , Then with knees down heads bowed hands on her , we pray and thank our creator for this gift….. Man what a MORNING !!!!View attachment 1261541View attachment 1261545View attachment 1261546View attachment 1261547Cinnamon rolls on a field edge …ITS A GREAT DAY
And from that moment, W is hooked in the right way forever! All Glory to God

Congratulations to him! Can you tell me more about the 7mm-08 reduced recoil? Looking for a deer rifle for my grandson.

That’s a mighty fine story right there. I wonder how many times he asked to get down so he could go look for her in that 15 min. Congratulations guys
