Son, finally get his first deer...
Well saturday started pretty slow but it ended good, my son is 15 and has yet to get one with a bow..
I bought him a new hoyt vortec this year and he has been shooting excellent..
so saturday afternoon my son and i and a few friends were pushing off a few areas like we do in the late morning early afternoon almost every weekend..
I was walking a ridge when i jumped some deer and they actually ran down to my cousins boy who was posting on a bench they saw him and ran up the hill and stopped about 8yds away from my son and he took one right threw the boiler room.
It went about 40 yds. It was a good sized doe and he was just thrilled. I was really happy that he got one because he has missed some in previous years but he has never connected. When I saw my sons face it really made me stop and think about why we are all out here, nothing better than family and friends sharing a hunt....and its especially rewarding when one of the young kids gets one.... thats what makes my day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to your son! That' s awesome.
I was also 15 when I shot my first deer (a doe). Afterwords my dad told me " Now all you need to do is get your driver' s license and get laid and you' ll be a man." Hahaha. Ah yes, parenting at it' s finest.

Congratulations on a very sucessful hunt. I' m probably speaking for all of us when I say we' re disapointed that there is no pic. I love to see that smile on a kids face. Please send us a pic....

Congrats to both you and your son!! I wish many more to him and you! I can not wait until my two sons are old enough to be able to be able to harvest their own animal. I have taken some friends' kids out for hunts and twice I was privilaged enough to witness their first kill and to see thei happiness and excitment made my entire year, I dont think it gets much better than to see a kid with their first!
