Super K shoots and scores!

Super K (my youngest son) decided to tag along with his older brother and I for the youth hunt last weekend. About and hour before dark, Big Brother whispers, "Don't move, there's a deer right there!". Sure enough, a doe had stepped out of the weeds about 40yds out. She feeds from our left to center stage as Super K gets on the rifle. Big Brother had stated emphatically that he wasn't going to shoot a doe this weekend... She's facing us, feeding, as Super K gets her lined up in the scope (RAR 243 Win with a K6). She's facing us, so I whisper to him to wait until she turns sideways. She no more than turns a few degrees and BANG! Whoa! She trots back the way she came. I was surprised at the shot, so didn't get to watch her reaction as much as I'd have liked to. I told Super K, "I'm not sure if you hit her.". His reply, "I got her. I was aiming right where you said."! We waited a few mins then went looking. First blood wasn't the easiest to find, but once we found it it was easy enough for the 30yd of the trail! Deer #3 for Super K.

Most of our gear is tied up with our recent relocation, thus the "untraditional" hunting garb/gear. I will say, it's nice to head out with just a pocketknife, a pocket full of shells, and a rifle!

Sweet!!! Congrats to Super K!

Awesome. Congrats to the lad.

Great job to all of you. A nice big doe for the freezer is always a good way to start the season.

A shot remembered with each bite of fine eating!

Thanks guys! Hoping they can add a few more to the freezer before it's all said and done.

Right on brother!! Miss those days sometimes...

Nice work! Ye Olde 243 Win and Weaver K6 = 2 batches of summer sausage!

Great job super K I remember my first deer with a 6.5 Swedish Mauser!😀

Congrats all around! Never doubt them young eyes!

Congrats to Super K, but you and your other son should be congratulated as well for him not only passing up the doe but it looks like he was tickled little brother got the deer. Not all brothers are that way I have found out. So congratulations to all of you! Those 2 young men have the makings for being stand-up citizens.
