Found "Big Boy" this afternoon. Nice old buck. I'm guessing a 5x5. I could see the gray on his face.
Son is excited, his first deer.
Well he is just over 400 yrds out. Watch him jump our fence and head into the cow pasture. We go out after him. See him on the hill side just across from us about 250 yrds. Tell my son to put the cross hairs on his back and when he stops broad side shoot him. I watch through the binoculars see the deer turn broadside and stop. Good shot take him....................... No shot. The deer walks over the hill. I know which trail he is taking so we head over to a different spot to get another shot at him.
He is now about 275 yrds out. Watching him chasing does and wait. He gives us another broadside. Tell him to put the cross hairs just a little over the top of his shoulders and shoot. He shoots and misses. Dang.
Look at my son and he is rubbing a spot between his eyes. What had happened? Didn't listen to Mom about the kick of the gun and the scope edge got him.
Not only did he miss getting a nice buck, but now he has a "horn" between his eyes.
Didn't think my .243 kicked.
He learned.
