Today was our firearms opener for deer. I took my 8-year old son out for the first time. He was just a tag-along and didn’t take a gun yet. This was kind of a feeling him out trip to see how well he did.

He did an awesome job. Handled the cold and sat still.

I normally wouldn’t shoot a doe on opening morning but he was too excited at the possibility of getting a deer that I couldn’t pass it up.

I guess I need to invest in some camo for him now. Looks like I’m going to have a partner with me from now on. COOL!

I told him that if he would have shot it, I would “blood” him to initiate him into the “hunting clan”. I could tell by the look on his face that he wanted me to do it anyway. He told me he should have it done since he was with me when I shot it.

I don't think I'll mention that bullet hole is a little far back. I'm sure she was quartering toward him:stirthepot

It absolutely was quartering towards us. It hit lung and liver. The slug was just under the hide on the opposite rear leg.
