Thread: Lil Man's 1st 8 pointer...

We started hunting a different property today. My boy is playin football this year and it really is digging into his hunting time. This new place we can only hunt Tuesday and Thursday. With his practice on those days he will not make it. He has the flu right now and can't go back to school til Friday. That gave him 1 shot to go with me.

We saw a doe and fawn going in, had another small 4pt around us as well.
This place will let kids shoot a buck 1st but adults have to take 3 does before a buck.
We watched this buck for 30 minutes trying to decide if he was big enough as he fed towards us. Knowing the circumstances on this property he gets 1 shot to get a good buck with his limited time. As the buck got to 70yds, I finally gave him the OK. After that I tried to talk him out of it cause I know this place has better. I've hunted it 4 years and never gotten all 3 of my does which means I've had to let numerous bucks walk.
HE's proud of his 1st 8pt. This is in SC if you see the rifle...Youth Model .308
I just picked the right stand today

Nice harvest lil man!

Thanks for sharing the story and pictures.
