I had the opportunity to take this young man hunting this past weekend. His dad was not able to go on Saturday and I volunteered to take him with me. We had a great day in the woods and the afternoon ended with him shooting this great 8 point. I had about 50 pics of this deer and had been hunting him hard all year long. This deer walked out on a food plot at about 4:15 and he made the shot. I don't think I've ever seen a kid that excited. I had been hunting the deer in a totally different area of the property. Just goes to show you never know where or when a big one is gonna step out. Was glad to be there for his first deer. I'm sure it will be a memory he keeps for a long time.

There are a lot of hunters who would have taken the shot away from the kid on a buck like that, especially if they had been hunting him hard all year long and finally see him. Kudos to you for letting the young man have that experience and a memory that will last his lifetime!

Kudos to you Moondog. It takes a hunter to make a hunter. Each one of us is a hunter because someone else made time to take us. Thanks for making time for this young man!

Awesome! You can bet the Lord will bless you for taking this young man and making this happen for him.

Congrats to the young man. Very good deer.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.
