I didn't shoot him but had been scouting him for a while. I've been letting a neighbor kid who just started hunting about 5 years ago on the place. Hunting was new to him and he started with a bow. He learned well and has killed a two or three does and a small buck on my farm along with a handful of spring turkeys, all with his bow. This is a buck I've been watching for the past couple months and figured he was the one for this year. I'd seen him quite a few times in the fields on my home place less than a half mile from my house. He shot him Friday evening just about dark. I heard the shot from my house and texted him to see if he needed any help. He said he had hit a pretty good sized buck and he ran off and he planned to wait a couple hours then go looking for him. I went along to help him and one of his younger brothers. It took an hour or so as there wasn't much external blood loss except for a couple places he laid down. We obviously did eventually find the buck and the neighbor kid was really pumped. ![[Linked Image]](http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc309/scottscritters/IMGP1439_zps69de7d8d.jpg) 19.5" inside spread with good mass. He's got about 6" of main beam broke off already, a tough looking buck for sure. Funny thing, he was standing about 20' from where I shot my biggest buck 3 years ago.

Awesome buck! Even more awesome is that you let the young man hunt it.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.
