The Official First Deer Thread

[Vincent Vega]

My friends grandson (9yo I think) connected on this Madison Co 5 pointer this morning, his first ever. He got the rifle for christmas last year (A Savage Axis in 243win) but didnt shoot it untill last weekend. He learned to shoot with his grandfathers rifles. When they shot the rifle to sight it in they noticed it had a horrible trigger (maxed out my 8 pound gauge and felt more like a staple gun than a rifle). It was a bit of a rush to get the rifle to me but I got it smoothed out and set on 4.5#. I got the rifle back to them friday. They hunted saturday with no luck. This morning it happened for the young man, his second day behind the trigger he made a great 70 yard shot and put one on the ground.

Well is not a Deer but we saved a few deer's life's today. This is my youngest of three kids. Been real skeptical of hunting but jumped at the chance to go today. First animal harvested with her with me!

Having been busted multiple times by those rascals I can tell you they may be trickier to kill than a deer. Tell her thanks and congratulations! That looks like a big yote.

jeffdt I understand you may know the gentleman (term used loosely in his case) in the pic below. Unfortunately he can't remember his ODT handle so can you tell him I ran across the pic of the baby deer he killed at my place back in November and decided to post it since it was his first? Also be sure and congratulate him.....it takes some talent to hit something that small.

Yes, Yes Vincent Vega. He shall remain un-named, He did catch hell from me, my disgust was well evident!

If it was his first, he was probably just over excited and had an itchy trigger finger to land one. I bet it was tender.

Poor lil fella was gut shot. I refused to eat any of it! Not even a piece of jerky.
