Son Tagged Out with Bucks

My son punched his second buck tag this afternoon on a heavy horned 8pt. He's put in the time to kill this deer and done it all on his own. He got the permission, scouted, and picked his spot. There is a shooting house there that I thought was in a better spot, but he picked a spot on the ground where a hay field dumps into a cut corn field and surrounded by a thicket. He's hunted 8 afternoons straight and a few mornings mixed in. He's actually set this field the last 7 evenings.

He asked if he could take my gun this afternoon. He killed it at 170 yards which is farther than I've ever killed one even with a rifle. He thought it was a little bigger when he called me after he shot but still a nice deer and tickled.

Shoot yeah that's a good buck , congrats to your son. Brother you've raised deer killers !
 
That's awesome. Congrats to him, and to his proud papa!

"He thought it was a little bigger when he called me after he shot"

I think we are all familiar with that phenomenon, but a great deer nonetheless.
Yep, been there. He's not too disappointed. He was hunting a bigger deer but still a good deer nonetheless and a great shot to boot. I asked him this morning when I left for work if he was still excited, and he said yes.
