My son gets his first deer with bow tonight
 

Well as stated my 14 yr old son got his first deer with his bow tonight. I really didnt want to go out tonight as I havent felt all that great and it was pooring out. But rain finally let up and I couldnt say no. As we got to the blind overlooking my food plot I told him when we got there its gonna happen tonight. I just knew the deer would hit that plot after the rain stopped. We were in blind all of 30 min and I caught movement and a lone button buck stepped out and was eating. He faced the blind and didnt offer a shot even though he was 10 yds. I believe he caught wind of us and started heading back to cover.. My son asked should I take it its a button I said if your happy with him go for it. As he drew the deer caught the movement and turned to check it out. My son Tanner steadied up and absolutely drilled him at 18 yds. Shot placement was text book in at last rib exit front armpit off side. Although I knew it was money we went home all of 500 yds and ate then went back out. I was a little concerned only finding a few drops of blood then nothing but stayed on the path and just looked for white belly it didnt take long 35yds from point of impact there he laid. It was excitied as any deer I had ever shot. What an awesome yr from turkey to all the hours practicing this summer with the bows to the culmination tonight. I sure pity the fathers out there that never get to experience the true bonding that takes place when you are shaking like a leaf and hugging each other. Now its time for the old man to draw some blood but should it not work out my season is complete

Congrats to both you and your son, something to be extremely proud of.

congrats to your son! great story

Man I can still remember how I felt the first time I shot one, Boy was I ever excited. I bet he's pumped, and he should be its an accomplishment, Good for him and I bet your a proud father for sure.

That is awesome. I will never forget when my son took out his first deer. It was a little doe but that was one of my best memories out in the field ever.

Congrats to your son on his first bow! I can only hope to be so lucky to be around to take my son (whenever he may be born) into the woods and teach him the ways of the wilderness.

I agree. When my son shot his first deer(it was with a gun) but I was standing right behind him and I couldnt have been more prouder. It is a great memory that no one can take from you. Congrats to the both of you!
