Football finished up on Saturday so Sunday we headed out for his first hunt of the year. Got a late start but by 3 I had found him a nice buck bedded down in the brush over 500 yards out. By 4:15 we had Avery on the shooting sticks at 252 yards. He had a 6-8 inch window to make the shot on the bedded buck. He didn't want to wait for the buck to get up and told me he could make the shot. So he did, one shot right in the vitals. Nasty pack but we were finished up by 10:30, home at midnight and another hour to get it taken care of. He was allowed to skip school today!!! This was his third deer but first buck and he shot it 50' for where I took my first buck 36 years ago. Great memories!
