My sons nice muley

[Muddyboots]

Congratulations! Awesome buck! Absolutely nothing better than hunting with your child, their smiles, the passing of the love of the outdoors and the lifetime memories. Its funny how the torch gets passed and now my son takes me hunting.

He was so happy to take this fine buck! the day before he missed a smaller whitetail and had only shot at it after his standing broadside option evaporated. he was bummed that he had missed. fast forward to day 2 of the youth hunt, his older brother was still at home sick so just he and i. he picked out the buck with the biggest body and shot it!
Yes his smile was so great! he is still super excited about it. he now has a larger buck to go on his wall. (first deer was a little forky, second was a doe, this is his third)

a fine trophy it is, and not because of the antlers. good times!!

Cool. Enjoy the time. They grow up fast.

Its funny how when your son or daughter kills a deer you feel like you shot one too! Nothing better than picking up a blood trail together and following it to white belly! The excitement, joy and immense satisfaction is remembered forever.

 

[Ga6570]

it is truly exciting each and everytime!

my 6 year old daughter keeps asking if she can shoot a deer. min age in MT is 10 with the youth mentor program. she loves target shooting and wanted to hang out with us while we butchered. not sure what she really thought but she kept saying, "this isn't gross…" she must have heard someone else make a comment or something..

Great buck. I love the way his right branches on the front main beam, and left branches off the back G2. Good character.

Congrats to the son and the Dad! That's a great memory!

Remember the saying... "When you take your kids hunting, you won't have to hunt for your kids!"

yeah the character in the antlers is pretty cool. the beam looks like it was damaged at some point and the 4th point on the front didn't develop right…
