Re: First Deer

That`s great. One of my most memorable hunts was when my 6yr old nephew got his first deer (6 point). The future of hunting is children. Good job!
 
Re: First Deer

Congrats to you and your son. Between the wife and the kids it's been a few years since I've got to shoot a deer, but get just as excited when they do.
 
Re: First Deer

Thanks guys. I hope that hunting and shooting will be as important to him, as it is to me and many others on this site.
 
Re: First Deer

Good shooting under the first deer jitters. Well done young man.
 
Re: First Deer

Congrats to your boy! He'll remember that moment the rest of his life. Good on you for instilling those skills and appreciation of the outdoors. May you and your son have many many more years of hunting together and deer laying at your feet!
 
Re: First Deer

Rthur, you can use a shotgun with slugs or a muzzle loader in the youth season.
 
Re: First Deer

congrats, thats great. I love those old MK-85's, I just don't like cleaning 'em. They were state of the art circa 1994
 
Re: First Deer

Yes , the 85s are a pain to clean, but it still shoots as good or better than some of the newer ones that I have had. I would like to find another Predator model like this one.
 
Re: First Deer

Re: First Deer

Re: First Deer

Re: First Deer
