Helped a young guy get his first buck

Did some deer pushes on Saturday with disappointing results. So took my sister's boyfriend hunting on my sanctuary farm.

Sat for 3 hours, when the deer started to pour out into the beans. With this young 2 year old 8 pointer.

At first I wasn't going to let him shoot him, cause I really don't like shooting young bucks, but the deer walked right up to us at about 50 yards. So I couldn't tell the kid no. (His second deer, and first buck)
So he let the 350 legend bark and he went down in less than 50 yards, (Thankfully didn't make it back to the woods)

The best part was after the shot I could feel the whole blind just shaking. I remember that feeling well as a young man.
He cleaned the deer up with some directions, He s never gutted a deer so it was a learning experience.

3rd deer harvested on the farm in 4 years.
Happy for him. Congrats kid.

As for me the quest continues, my standards are fairly high, so we ll see.

Nothing wrong with that! Sounds like a great experience for him that will be embedded in his memories.
 
Great job Trap! I love wall hanger bucks as much as anyone but get just as much enjoyment out of new hunters getting young bucks. Or anything else for that matter.
 
Good on you!! Congrats to you and him both. Those memories and getting another into the sport out weigh any passing deer/management every single time.
 
"feel the whole blind shaking" - very cool story, great generosity, and a great memory for that young man.
 
Very cool. I think that is one of the best things we can do is introduce and mentor our youth in the outdoors. Congratulations to you both!
