Hello, Ive been reading this forum all season, hadn't signed up yet until today. Wanted to introduce myself, my 12 yo son and I just started deer hunting on our land a couple years ago, so we are still beginners. Thanksgiving morning, my son killed his first deer! It was very exciting for the both of us, wanted to show off a little bit! We are from east TN, so we are anxious to learn more about hunting in this area. Going to attempt to put up some pictures.

That is awesome!! Congrats! Give your son a high five for me! Welcome to the Forums!!

welcome and congrats!!!

I forgot to mention that he has a .243 Rossi 3 in 1 that he hunts with.

nice job on the buk kido....did you get anything in the las couple years as well? yall have private land or public?both? how much land? what are you shootin...bow as well? muzzle loaders too?

Good buck! Tell him congrats!

We both have been empty handed the last three years. Both my boys are sports nuts, so my hunting time is pretty limited. We've pretty much been learning as we go. We live on 21 acres, but the area is probably over 1000 acres of woods. We've had to learn how to hunt on our land, it isn't real easy, we had our land logged about 15 years ago, so there are thousands of saplings about the size of your wrist and smaller, which makes hunting difficult, but the deer seem to love the cover. I've got the hunting stand in a great place in my opinion now.
I bought a great muzzleloader last christmas for myself, a CVA accura, great gun, but, I didn't even have time to hunt with it this year because of football, but my feeling is it will last a lifetime, my kids won't be kids forever! I hunt with a remington woodmaster 742.

Great, I got my first 4 short years ago, when I was 12.

That's a great buck, good job Dad and Son!!!
