[QUOTE="CTK, post: 1384851, member: 103842"] [ATTACH=full]87688[/ATTACH] Project, Get 8 Year Old a Deer, has now been accomplished! This has been a 2 season effort, likely lengthened greatly by my refusal to hunt out of heated box stands or blinds. Endless amounts of questions were answered during this quest. We also went through a ton of beef jerky, Skittles, and hand warmers. Our problems last year mainly centered around sitting still, cold, hunger, and hunting in places that “had no deer and we should move”. 8 years old has been a slight improvement but the endless questions have increased in complexity. Yesterday we had many moving deer. My son finally got a sight picture of a deer that he was comfortable with. He shot a whitetail doe at 125 yards exactly where he was told to. Right before he shot he said that his heart was “pounding”. I told him the standard “breathe and slowly squeeze the trigger”. I did not micro manage the situation and told him to shoot whenever he was comfortable. Before I knew it the gun went off and I heard a the bullet impact the doe. Of course I feared a leg or butt shot. When we found the doe she was shot perfectly behind the shoulder. Equipment used included; a Savage Axis Youth 7mm-08, Bog Pod shooting stick bipod, 120gr Ballistic Tip bullet, 38gr IMR 4895, and Jack Links beef jerky, and almost all the monthly wireless data limit of my cell phone. I have never seen my son so happy! [/QUOTE]
