First Deer

[Starlite]

I'd say you're going to be busy building a bigger elevated stand. GREAT STORY!!!!!
BTW great work on those pesky squirrels too

Nice work. Always good to add another young hunter to our ranks. Tell him to keep up the good work

Bit late posting this one and I don't figure it quite counts as long range, but my boy got his first deer on his 6th birthday this year. The boy's pretty tough with his cut down howa in 223 and I let his papaw talk me into letting him have a go at it. 5x8 tower stand was barely big enough for him to shoot from his bog death grip with my dad on the binos and myself on the back up gun. No follow up necessary because he drilled him at 140 yds. Pretty sure we got a lot more excited than he did! Nov 26th was a good day fellows.

Thata boy

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I'll make sure and show them to him tonight. He'll get a kick out of it for sure.

Agreed! My 7 yr old niece is honing her skills with a 300blk for next year. She is good to 75-80 yds then things get sketchy. 140 yds is quite a poke for his age. Congrats to a great young hunter/shooter!

It's never TOO late to post pic of a young hunter's first deer. Way to go fellas!
