And "da torch" has been passed down!!! :smile
My oldest son Mitchell (was 12 on the 23rd of Oct.) finally hooked up this morning with his lil Model 7 Youth .243 @ 52 steps. She took about 3 leaps and folded like a cardtable. I KNOW I was more excited than he was. This day has been DECADES in the making for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two years ago he missed a 145inch 8 ptr @ 125yds and he hasn't been able to go again until this weekend. This weekend we were near Jackson, MS on some land we bought for an uncle and cousins to hunt on. Yesterday morning Mitchell grazed some belly hair off a doe @ about 50 yds. (He admitted he closed his eyes when he shot! :cuss) Then yesterday afternoon he missed a doe @ about 50yds (says he shot over her, flinched! :cuss X2) BUT he made up for it this morning @ 6:50 on this ol' doe. My uncle and I were kidding him this morning over breakfast saying he went from, "Ol closed eyes" too "Ol dead eye" in one shot!
LOL he had fallen asleep in my ground blind over a foodplot, I had to wake him up when the deer stepped into the field. But a minute later and that doe caught an 85grain Barnes Triple Shock bullet through the ol pumphouse and that was that!!!
That hat he's wearing was one I used to wear when I was a kid startin out. I bet 50+ deer were killed "under" that hat in my younger days!
