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

Excellent! Congrats to him! By the way, little deer = very good eating.

Outstanding work there. Those will be forever memories for you guys.

Thanks guys, it certainly was one of my best hunting memories for sure.

Congrats to both of you.

Nice way to start that young man's hunting career! Congratulations to both of you and best wishes for many more memorable hunting trips together.

Very well done! Congrats to you both!!!

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.

Congratulations

He did good

That's a great shot and some even better memories.

Congratulation to the young man! Nice work.

Congratulations, very cool first buck.

Thanks guys, we are out looking for elk now.

Gonna teach him to try to head shoot cow elk, then lose them, too?

Congrats to the young man, that's a great-looking kid. Did he get his elk?

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.

What is it that he's promoting?

His fakebook page. Create enough buzz/views, and the freebie doors start to open.

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

Visit the Fakebook page and start counting all the hashtags and shout-outs to equipment companies.

I don't do Facebook.

I don't either, but many do.

Hell, just google "coldboremiracle" and witness all the social media sites and channels, with the copious hashtags and pimping of everything including his kids in order to find or appease a sponsor so he can continue to be an unethical SOB.

Why would I do that? Are you a big fan?

First cngrats to the youngster getting a deer.. and
You aren't kidding i googled it and tons of hits on coldboremiracle.. anyhow here I am worried trying to get my kid within 150yds to shoot a moose he has his kid shooting 500yds at a deer.. I would never let my kid take a 500yd shot

Not a fan at all; simply to prove the point that the unethical SOB is simply pimping his son in order to make a buck - as folks on this one that the long range threads have stated.

So, he can't post a photo of his son, with his first buck? Seems to me, he should be able to do that.

I'm in COMPLETE support of kids hunting, and with few exceptions (like Scenarshooter's threads), I MUCH prefer to read hunting reports where kids have success and share priceless moments with their families. So yes, I'm happy for this boy from Utah who shot his first buck. He's just a kid, and he's got every right to be as excited as humanly possible about his hunt.

That said, I'm not in support of a boy learning from his Dad, when Dad's both irresponsible and commercializing the whole experience (in MY opinion). The Campfire is loaded with healthy examples of kids hunting with their dads (Mackay's threads come to mind first, but not solely), but this social media sponsorship trolling "sniper" is not cut from the same cloth (in MY opinion)................or we wouldn't even be discussing it.

I'm not either. I thought I might have missed something so I went back and read the whole thread. I didn't see any of that.

Just a kid with his first buck.
