Well it’s not a deer but we were deer hunting with a pump rifle. My 8 year old son with his 50’s 760 in 300 Savage. Awesome!
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

This was the first year he used the 300. It’s really too heavy for him but I put a shortened stock on it and scooted the old 4X all the way back and he actually shoots it well off sticks or prone over a pack.
I tried to talk him into using the AR because he likes it and shot his deer last fall with it. But he’s positive he can slay any creature and rule the world with a 300 Savage. Yesterday evening while we were sitting he was making plans for his first Alaskan fly in hunt. Dad’s paying and he’s killing a big bull caribou with his 300.

Good shooting on the kid.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I'd not recommend a bi-pod mounted to the barrel for a Remington pump. Get him a "Trigger stick" instead. Not the single post one, at least the two legged one or, better yet, tripod post one. Have him shoot with the forearm, not the barrel, rested in the yoke. You don't want to put inconsistent upward pressure on the barrel. BTDT.
