shot one this year, kinda by accident, kinda on purpose. took the biggest one of three that were out. didnt want to shoot it, but i had my 6 year old son with me and he was begging me to please shoot. so we took it. it was his first deer kill, so to me it was worth it. he didnt stop smiling about for a week. under diffrent circumstances i wouldnt have shot it. and dont plan on shooting one again, but accidents do happen. but to make my sons day/week with a BB was well worth it to me this year.
