My son harvested his first deer last season and we got his mount back. He was 7 years old at the time and we made a awesome video of the hunt. Our taxidermist did a fantastic job. The buck hit a tree and snapped his main beam off and my son was worried when we found the buck, the beam was laying about 5 feet from the buck. I'll remember this day for the rest of my life and I look forward to getting his two younger brothers their first deer one day. Check out the video if you get a few free minutes. He was killed on our lease in Albany Texas and scored 128 4/8" http://youtu.be/zCwClASCppo

 When I saw that buck walk out my heart started beating fast. What a shot, and great video too. Y'all did real good. One of the most exciting videos I've seen in a while.

Congrats to you and your son! Great pics, great deer, and great video! You hit the trifecta! No matter how many or how big a deer I will ever kill, my favorites will always be main-frame 8's. They just can't help but look impressive, and that's a very nice one.
