Went out for the opener on Saturday. My son, 10 yrs old, shot his first deer with a bow. Ten+ yard shot, hit a little back in ribs, went forty yards or so and died. A shame he had to pass the spike standing next to the one he shot but in NJ, we have to earn a buck.[:'(]

What was really cool, we got a double. We were in a double ladder stand and the deer with the one my son shot came back by at 30+- yards and I was able to collect my doe also. What a cool start. Opening day and a double by 8:30. Later my son said, I guess all that practice paid off! I just smiled.

Told everyone I could find around home. So you guys are next.

Congratulations!!! What a memory to make! Hopefully you two will have many more days like this one ahead of you. Good luck! Post pictures if you have them.

OOOOooooooooooooooooooohhhh MAN!!!! Am I jealous! I can't wait until an opportunity like that for my kids. My little girl is 3-1/2, and is razzing me daily to take her to, "Go and get some deers!" My 2yo son isn't as excited about it as her, but dinosaurs, and Scooby Doo won't last forever.LOL! Sincere Congradulations to you and your boy, I hope you have tons of more days like that in the future.

Congratulations to you and your son. Sounds like a real Kodak moment , as well as, being priceless. Good shooting and best of luck for the rest of the season.

Congrats to you both. Sounds like one to remember!

congrats to the both of you.I cant wait till I can take my young guy hunting with his own bow,he is only 9,but for now he just comes along and sits with me

Congrats to your son and youself. I've been hunting for 16 years and have still yet to double with my father. Now you've both got the does out of the way it's time for some buck hunting.

If you've got a pic I'd love to see it. There is nothing better then silver dollar sized eye on a young hunter after a first kill.

Congrats to you both!!!!!!!!

Congrats! I was able to film my son taking his first deer last year. I could watch that video over and over - the look on his face. . .

PRICELESS!!!!

I hunt NJ also but up in ZOne 2 where I can't get out until October.
