Thanks everybody. He and that 243 accounted for a Doe this afternoon 50 yard broadside shot. The 243 brought things to a quick conclusion. The boy said the Doe looked like it was struck by lightning. Great cartridge that 243.

congrats to your son, that is a terrific buck! the 243 is a good round especially for kids, women or anyone that doesn't like recoil. It was my first rifle and shot many whiteys with it.

Super sweet! My first deer was killed with a 243 and many other after that. Does a fine job.

Fantastic, great deer.
I can see why your father (moosemike) is very proud of you.
Heck, I'm all grins every time I see a young person with a deer they have taken.
Again congratulations. :-)

Great job! tough looking kid, and a tough looking buck!
Tell him to write to down... no time like the present to start his deer hunting memoirs.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.
