What a day makes in deer hunting. Yesterday I took his 16 yr old brother out and didn't see a deer. Today we had 8 does and fawns within shooting distance before 9:00.
He made a perfect shot at 33 yds with my Rem 1100 12 ga. out of my hunting tower in my woods. He rested the forearm on the windowsill and I believe the shotgun bounced away from the hard surface and went slightly high and did a spine shot. It dropped in it's tracks and no blood trailing. I only wish I had a video setup as at the moment of bullet impact there was 2 streams of steam out both sides of the deer and it just dropped. Of course he missed that because of the recoil.
He didn't want mess with a doe and only wanted to buck hunt. But I asked him to shot a doe to give to the next door neighbor. OK he would do that and got his hands dirty cleaning the deer as I cleaned his 1st deer when he was 10.
A great weekend to be a grandpa. My son is always setup at a gunshow this weekend I have taken the 2 boys the last 4 years hunting and they each have gotten 2 each.
The 16 yr old hunts with my S&W 629 Classic Deluxe and took an nice 7 pt 2 years ago with the pistol. He passed on a nice buck and doe last year as he felt they were too small and didn't want to mess with them. He feels he always wants a bigger buck than the year before. I explained it just doen't work out that way.
