My 12 year old boy took this fine Muley after 3 days of hunting. We had a ton of fun scouting, camping, and hunting on this, his first deer hunt. He passed up 5 four-points and 2 nice three-pointers before taking this buck.
Awesome, it might be years before he gets a chance at another buck like that, and then again maybe not, that will be enough to keeping him coming back for more. Memories for a lifetime.
Congrats on a great way to start. Super buck and excellent shot placement. I'd like to hear more of the story if you can share it; spot, stalk, scouting, etc.
Congrat's to your son on a wonderful velvet buck..."he's the man". What a great experience for you both. Enjoy the quality time....they grow up so quickly.
Thanks for all the kind comments...I'll pass them along!
I green scored this buck at 170 3/8". It took me 18 years to kill a buck that size...he did it in 3 days. He still gets a grin from ear to ear when someone asks him about it.
must have a great mentor, great buck, nice shot, he will remember it fondly forever and doing it with pops will be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Awesome First Buck! Congrats to both you and your son. I know the feeling of watching your kids shoot their first animals. Nothing beats that feeling! Looking forward to trying to get my 12 year old daughter on her first buck next week.
