First Buck


My son has been hunting with me for several years and we have had a great time and he has killed two does, but wasn't able to see a buck. It finally happened, he killed his first buck! He was a very excited little boy and it was a great day. He had never even seen a buck in the woods and he took advantage of the opportunity with a single shot.


The buck was a big bodied dear but the antlers were stunted; however it was a buck and made a little boy very happy. The shot was a little off from where he was aiming, but it dropped in its tracks to it was effective. Everything came together perfectly for the first hunt of the year. We have meat in the refrigerator and the pressure is off to kill a buck.
