The Youth Hunt forum here on Monster Muleys doesn't get much traffic, so I decided to post the story of my son's first deer in this forum also.
I have been meaning all year to post up pictures of my son's first deer. Bad Dad for waiting so long. He took this whitetail doe in western Montana just before dark (which is why the photos are not that great). We were working our way through a woodlot when we spotted this doe with one other. It took quite a bit of cat-and-mouse, but we finally moved into position for a shot. He settled his rifle in-between the trunk and branch of a young sapling, aimed carefully, and squeezed off a perfect lung shot.
We were both thrilled to see the deer fall in its tracks. He paced the shot off at 60 yards, taken with my old 30-30 Savage. The first thing he wanted to do after the pictures were taken was to call his mother and grandparents to tell them that he'd gotten his first deer!!
Nice Job Justin!

My hunting spot is so secret, not even the elk have found it yet.
