My boys first deer!

Well my boy got his first deer today a nice 3x3 couse deer. As you can tell he is happy. Shot him with a 250-3000 using a 90gr sierra hollowpoint the first shot took his liver out and the second shot took out his lungs and heart so much for liver and onion and fried heart

Here are some pictures

Hey - great first deer - I know how happy he must be feeling

you must be real proud ....... but do hammer home the 'finger out of the trigger guard' thing.......even on unloaded firearms. Please.

Hey 323, Congratulations to the youngster and you too. It would be difficult to scrub that BIG smile off with a wire brush.

Don't take that as negative, I agree with Ian. Habits like that end up becoming accidental discharges and nobody enjoys them.

Good hunting to you and your son.

FANTASTIC...I always appreciate the pictures of kid's trophies! And "hat's off" to you for raising your young man in the great outdoors. Nice buck and one he will remember hunting with his Dad forever.

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.
