Jeb and a big one – Page 2 – Deer and Ducks

Just finished with a memorable afternoon of a lifetime for me and my youngest. We have been talking about letting some deer walk and learning a little about not shooting everything he sees since he has killed several deer the last couple of years. Well...it was a prophetic talk. We set up a ground blind near a heavy doe traffic area and he reluctantly watched a few does go by....I was proud of him showing some maturity and understanding of what we were doing. 15 minutes before dark this stud came out on the trail of two does that had come by 30 minutes earlier. It seemed like an eternity between when we saw it and he took the shot. The .223 did the trick and he made a great shot. The pictures tell the rest! 14 points, 17" spread. Wouldn't be prouder if I had shot it myself.
