Proud dad weekend! After 4 years of grinding it out and multiple opportunities messed up for one reason or another, he stuck it out and whacked his first one with his late grandfathers Marlin 30-30. He decided at the last min when the deer was in the field that he wanted to do that instead of using the 300blk. Right in the feels for me. Then goes and pops a doe the next morning! I’d say he kicked the monkey off of his back.

My first deer was with an inherited Marlin 30-30. That's the good stuff. Enjoy!
