I can look at pics of kids with their deer all day long. Their smile says it all. They dont care , buck or doe. In some ways they remind us what hunting is all about.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23

You guys make me chuckle. Brings back memories! I shot a buck, my very first solo buck. Went and got my brother that was back in the truck all evening playing some 80's little handheld video game to help me gut and drag it out. Well, I lost my Swiss army knife inside the half gutted buck. We dragged it out. Biggest buck the family got. The ol' 243. deadly on west Texas deer.

most kids his age cant stand the sight of blood. congrats and you hand a very handsome boy by the way. I'm not sure he's fond of it. But, he knew it was part of the deal. He's been with me for a few that I shot, so he knew what was coming. He did want to wear gloves, which was fine with me.
Camp is where you make it.

Great pic Tz. Well done by a fine looking young man.
Nothing puts the fun in hunting more than watching your own do it. Or any young person for that matter.
Hear is to wishing you guys many more hunts in the future.

The rifle he used is a Rem 700 MT Rifle once .280 Rem. I had one once. It would put 8 rounds under a quarter at 100 yards with commercial ammo. It still will. It belongs to my BIL.

Between remembering my first deer (in WI as well) back in the 70s, and remembering my son's first deer in 2003, you know this thread made my day!
Congratulations to you and your son!!
What country were you hunting? You sure had some great opening morning snow. My favorite deer hunting places in WI range from Marquette County in the south to Vilas and Sawyer Counties.
