That's a great story! Appreciate you sharing. You are showing this young man the love and guidance that so many youth are missing out on. You are both very fortunate and blessed. Congratulations to you both.
In the perfect world I would have had him use the Marlin 30-30 I grew up with, which is also the same rifle his dad killed his first deer with.
Great story and one you or him will never forget! Congrats.

Outstanding job, congrats to both of you! Hope he gets a bird this spring too.
As good a post as we will see on TnDeer, and I am not the least bit surprised it came from you. Kudos to you for being selfless and providing your nephew a stepping stone to experience mentorship, raw emotion, hardship, success, and grow as an individual, in just a few hours. He is at some of the most impressionable years of his life and you hit it out of the park providing him an opportunity and guiding him to success that will likely shape him going forward and pay him dividends for years to come. As you stated, it will shape and reflect who you are just as much. As I have said for 25+ years, my absolute favorite pics on this forum (or anywhere else) are kids/youth in the outdoors. Kudos to you both! Thanks for sharing.

Great job brother and I know your were blessed more than your nephew will ever understand until it's his turn to do the same for a youth 30 years from now.

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing. Congrats to both and keep up the good work with him. He depends on you to teach him the sport that we all love.
Great story and good on you for taking him. Glad to see you still do taxidermy too.
Thanks
I do a handful to keep it fresh, just in case I ever luck up and kill one to put on my wall.

That is an awesome story TC! Congrats to you both! I'm sure Don would be proud of you both. There's nothing like passing on the family tradition of hunting!
