My son Thomas just turned 13 and has been wanting to deer hunt something terrible for a long time. My brother has a son close to the same age that has been hunting since age 9 and really doesn't seem to appreciate it. I held off with Tom until this year. He had a blast last weekend and was quit e happy when I got my buck. Yesterday he missed a shot learning you aim low when on an angle, not higher. Today was his day. He had church in the morning, so we didn't get out till about 2:30. The wind was a cold NW wind at about 20-30 mph. He wanted to hunt alone so I set him up on a patch of wheat alongside some CRP I figured the deer would be bedded in. At 5:20 I heard one shot. He dropped this young fellow at about 50 yards with his .250 Savage.

He is absolutely hooked on hunting. I warned him though, next year we let these young guys slide by and wait for the big ones!

I am pleased to read this!

looks like she sank more than one in him? It's flying around Facebook, right now. Maybe Bob Costas will want to interview her.

I started with a 250 Savage as well, still one of my favorite deer calibers.

Good for him and Dad...

bragging on our kids is always in order and expected. Braggin on ourselves?..not so much.
