So my son got his first deer today and boy was it an experience! You see he shoots pretty good when it comes to practicing but this was only his second time to pull the trigger on a deer. Last year he straight missed a spike and this year he finally connected. Unfortunately he hit him right in the back knee! It made for about what seemed like a 300 yard tracking job through some really thick stuff only to find him still alive. I ended up having to put another bullet in him. I gotta hand it to the little guy because he was a natural at spotting the blood trail better than myself. It definitely taught us a valuable lesson about shooting too . I can't emphasise enough about teaching youngsters about following through with a shot and not pulling your head or flinching when they pull the trigger. All in all it was an awesome end to the season and I'm super proud of him!

Way to go dad! That's building a hunter the right way. That was a trophy deer to the little guy and rightly so. Work him up to that big 8 when he is ready. Here's to many more years of shared hunts.

congrats on your son's first deer. I had trouble with my son pulling his head up when he shot at deer. Plenty of practice with .22 and also joined 4H shooting program.

Thanks yall it means a lot! We're definitely gonna work on shooting form through the off season. Hopefully we can get on some hogs or yotes to help out.

That is great! Sounds like the best lesson learned , is keep looking, recovery could be right past the next bush.

Great job by your son! Reminds me of my first buck in 1969, nine years old, and shot a little 6 point at 325 right through both back knees!

Naturally he's better at seeing blood - he's much closer to the ground (and has much younger eyes).

Congrats!!

way to go! This is the type of dad I hope to be later this season when my son is 5 and can shoot an X-Bow. He is excited to get out this summer to learn how to shoot it!
