My youngest Roman(13) got his buck this morning, very cool as I was in the stand with him. After many days at it, his attitude was sinking and just as I told him lets stay out a little longer..... we hear a branch crack, after a bit of a waiting game he made the shot and had his 5 pt.
Pre 64 M70 fwt .243 with his handloaded 80 TTSX's double lunged and down.

Randy,

Weidmannsheil to your son and you. Glad to hear that. So the "old man" told the young buck to be patient and persevere and it actually came off.

Hunting has to two parents - patience and perseverence.
Killing has to parents - placement and penetration.

I see, the .243 TTSX worked as well - and to no surprise.

Only one thing missing - a Leupold 3x...

Congratulations to Roman. Probably remember this one above all others when he's an "oldster".

Way to go Roman!!!

150 yard shot? grin

Randy, congrats for spending the time with him on stand, and being there when he got his first. That's the way it should be. He'll always have that memory.
