Since I was part of the 24 HCF MRC 260 Rem buy I promised I was going to learn how to post pictures, hopefully to document the load development of the rifle. Well I have been dragging my feet until my grandson killed his first deer.

This was killed Saturday Oct. 31 in Franklin County Virginia.

His dad and myself are very proud of this buck!

Joking aside, that is a tremendous buck, and I'm glad to see a young hunter in the picture with it.

Family treasure, right there.

Congratulations, to the young man.

Good all the way around! He's officially ruined now.
Posted By: VaHunter Re: Grandson's First Deer - 11/04/15
I would estimate this deer to be close to 200# on the hoof, which is much larger than the average deer in our area and large than any deer I have taken.

His father said he was very calm during the whole thing until they got down from the stand and saw how big he actually was, then they both got excited.
When I got there and saw the deer on the ground I was shaking with excitement also and it has been many years since that has happened.

Like others here said, that is going to be very hard to ever top.

That's a great VA buck! Awesome to be able to share your grandson's first. What a monster!
Congratulations! That is one heck of a way to start a deer hunting career.

Great memory for the whole family right there. That smile says it all. What an awesome buck!

We are not too far apart. I live in Henry county but used to hunt a small farm up in the Penhook area.

that is a great buck. franklin county has some great bucks. what part were you hunting. we used to near giles creek on smith mountain lake.

srwshooter,

Our lease is a little south of Glade Hill. We have taken some very good bucks off of this property but this one is one of the best, if not the best.

It is surely the largest body deer we have killed. We had a great mast crop last year and the year before and it helped both antler development and size.
