[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 704730, member: 1193"] I got my youngest (11) out this past weekend to try and get him his first deer. He could shoot buck or doe this weekend but opted to hold out for horns until Sun. then anything was fair game. Saturday morning was a bust as far as deer went, but that didn't make it a total loss. He did manage to connect on his first coyote. Saw her a long way off coming in from the left. He couldn't see it at first but I told him when it got in front of us I'd blow the distress call and when it stopped he could shoot. I hit the call and I'm not sure the coyote even had a chance to finish turning its head our direction before the 260 barked.
