Grandson's first deer. - 11/25/23
My grandson started hunting this year. He is 6.
His 4th hunt was yesterday.
He was using a Ruger Compact 7-08 that I bought his Mom about 22 years ago.
He and his Dad were invited to his uncle's deer camp because they needed to shoot 20 does.
So, they could shoot a doe, but not a buck.
2 does came out about 1 hour before dark.
He picked out the biggest one and shot.
His Dad videoed on cell phone.
The deer jumped straight up and ran 15 yards and fell dead.
My son-in-law was very impressed with the 7-08 with Nosler 140gr Accubonds.
I just told him "Your wife killed 2-3 deer every year as a child with that rifle and ammo. So, I'm not surprised."
And, my grandson was ecstatic. He wasn't so crazy when the blood was put on his face though.
