He used factory Barnes 55 gr. TSX. He's a lucky boy, his dad takes him hunting and fishing every time he goes. I can't wait to take them down south in about a month.
They were hunting a friend of his fathers Ranch. This was his first rifle killed Buck. He has actually taken 2 others with crossbow, one last year and one this year.

That's a great start for a young hunter. Hope the rest of his hunting career is as good as the first time.

Congratulations. grin

Love seeing a youngster's first one. GREAT way to start off a kiddo!

Take your kids hunting so you'll never have to hunt for your kids.

Don't have a kid? Borrow one!
