Finished my son's first mule deer hunt on Saturday, we managed to get him on a little buck. He was excited!

Thanks guys, I spent a lot of time with him all summer long practicing. And he did lots of dry fire practice too, we spent time getting comfortable in field positions and dry firing from them as well. I think it gave both him and myself the confidence needed, so that when it came time for the real thing, we were ready. That little 260 is a sharpshooting little gun, the 120gr bullets I loaded leave the muzzle at just under 2800fps. And at 490 yards across the canyon, it took 2.4MIL of elevation to hit that deer. Cant wait to get out some more, and find those elk.

Thanks guys, we are out looking for elk now. Gonna teach him to try to head shoot cow elk, then lose them, too? http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/11686288/1

I see he is still self promoting. Noted the "coldboremiracle" on the stock, easily seen... Using kids in the quest for self promotion appears to be par for course.. Fortunately CBM can still serve as a good "horrible" example to show potential LR hunters. He is a shining example of what not to do, or how to conduct one's self.

Funny, I never saw the letters on the stock. All I saw was a smiling kid, out in the mountains hunting.
