I'm not really sure what to say. Avery turned 10 in September and yesterday 11-20-10 he killed his first deer. He was shooting my Browning 270 WSM and made a 120 yard shot on this great doe. I told him to put it on her shoulder and squeeze the trigger and that, he did. (next time I'll tell him to put it behind it a little...) She plowed about 10 yards to her death. Dads with kids out hunting, I finally know how it feels to have your child kill a deer. I know Avery was excited but, I doubt it was as much as me. My legs were shaking and my heart was pounding so hard I thought for sure I was going to have the "big one". Here's Avery's (aka Nubbybuck) first deer.
Now, If that wasn't enough. Today Avery made another 120 Yard shot on this awesome buck! You just don't know how proud I am. He held it all together to make two great shots. Afterwards there were many "high fives", hugs, and "I love you's". Here's Avery's second ever deer kill.
To Avery,
Thanks buddy, I had the two best days of hunting I will ever have.
