So today is Maine's youth deer day. In the zone I live in, kids under 15 and under are allowed to shoot either a buck or a doe today. We got up this morning, took our time getting out, and were set by 6:40 to watch a field my neighbor has taken his deer in for the last 8 years. We spent and hour there and the boys were complaining about getting cold, so we cut into the woods and made our way back to the truck.
about a half mile from my house there is a field road that I had taken with the four wheeler about a month ago and decided it was worth a drive. long story short, right where we were going to turn around, a deer came up over the hill.

Pointed it out to my oldest son and instructed him to get out but stand behind the door. I got out and got to his side, gave him a bullet, he loaded up and took aim. She never moved a muscle and dropped right where she was standing. it was about a 120 yard shot and he had to free hand it. Gun in questions was a 7mm mag shooting 160gr accubonds.

I was one happy dad with one happy kid. Getting ready to head out with my middle boy to finish the day out. God Bless.

That is an understatement! I am very thankful to God for these opportunities. Wednesday he was not even sure if he wanted to go. This little experience has tipped the scales!!

Thanks for the congrats gentlemen, appreciate it. Such a great feeling to see your kids do this. The doe dressed out at 130.2lbs. God Bless.
