Tell that young man that is a wonderful first deer. Many a man would be proud to take that home with him.
Congrats to both of you!

My son got his first deer this weekend! The farm we were hunting on practices quality deer management which prevented him from possibly taking a nice 6 pt buck later that evening. The buck came to us like it was on a string but it was not large enough to shoot.
This was a neck shot from 50 yards with a 20g Savage single shot. He could barely hold the gun up by himself with the heavy barrel. She was about 145 pounds and dropped where she stood. Not knowing how he would react to the situation, the boy was elated and couldn't wait to share the pictures with his friends. He stood and watched the entire skinning and cleaning process with interest (and probably some throw up in his mouth), but he is ready to do it again.
I couldn't be more proud!

I have watched a monster 8 point in my backyard run off 3 other bucks this morning since 8:00am and its still going on.
Hunted WV rifle season this week. I have family outside of Beverly in Randolph County. Crossed paths with this Cheat Mountain 10 point. My cousin also took a nice 8 point.

Come on Saturday!
New set of rules, Bambi.
Step out at 50 yards now and see what happens.
He'll step out at 500 yards! They know.
