View attachment 214812 boy got one this morning. He's in a cooler with ice. Put a heck of a shot on him from our yard. We were getting ready to walk in to our blind as it was light but they were between us and our blind so we stayed put. Had a shot but couldn't shoot because our neighbors blind was inline thorough so trees and brush but it could be sketchy so we went back and forth will he was defending a doe from to other bucks. He had another shot opportunity but I questioned a tree in front of us and didn't shoot. Buck went back to the doe in the trees. The other bucks circled, he came back out in the direction we needed. We were on our freshly moved dirt hill so a rock solid rest. I told him to keep the cross hair on him like normal but up a little bit higher than usual. He fired, it cracked him good, big mule kick I thought I saw him fall I yelled and danced with excitement but wasn't 100%....waited over an hour and a half just in case. My wife took action pics from our new bedroom as he almost got the first shot off. The buck went forty yrds. The bullet caught a corner of his heart. Got a tracking video. Lifetime memory made here. Kid can shoot and that gun is a tack driver. I'm going to step it off in a second I'm guessing 170.
Congrats to you both!
