Grandson's First Deer
« on: November 28, 2014, 08:06:57 AM »
My twelve year old grandson shot his first deer this year on opening morning just before the snow hit. He paid his dues over the last year with time on the range, hunter safety and sitting in the stand last year to see what it all looks like. It all came together when he got his deer with a nice one shot kill. No coaching needed from grandpa.

Nice!    That is one event that he will surely never forget.    (and probably grandpa too)

Cool.  Nice deer #1. 

Yep, it will be a memorable hunt and table provision.  Tell him, "Great job!"

"Drink it up ..... That's the Good Stuff."

The Right to Keep and BEAR Arms is enshrined explicitly in both our State and Federal Constitutions, yet most of us are afraid to actually excercise that Right, for very good reason: there is a good chance of being arrested........ and  THAT is a damned shame.  III.
