Sons first nice buck!

[Coldfinger]

Opening day started slow here in Western NY with my son snoring at 08:00 in my seat. I understand as he traded me his blind seat and it was so uncomfortable I walked outside and stood as he slept! At 0900 I saw does fooling around in the swamp acting like a buck was bugging them. Well he appeared by the time I backed into the blind and woke up snoring Sasquatch!! He made a beautiful 50 yard quartering away shot. Contrary to popular belief my 7 year olds hand loaded 52 grain hollow point from his 22-250 did the job perfectly!!!! Heart shot hips dropped there and it took the beautiful animal a few seconds to realize he was ours!! An oblong 4" entrance hole and a pulverized heart, no damage to opposite side ribs. We did find some lead bits but no copper in the jellied armpit mess.

That's awesome! I bet you are a proud father! Moments like that is what it's all about. Time in the field with our kids.

Congrats to both of you. Nothing better than spending time hunting with your boy.

That's dads only buck tag. We're lucky to be able to hunt any game with the slime balls in office! We're on our way to Pa in the morning with his first big game license at 7 years old.
