its not just a doe, its his first and it it is a trophy in any regard, give your boy a pat on the back from me.
but he is stil very proud, and I think I am more.
thank you for doing your part of introducing another youngster to the joy of the outdoors, as far as the gut shot, spend more time shooting with him and get him to understand and control the excitement and his shot placement will improve. again way to go on your and his part!!!!
