My 9 year old son took his first deer with a 30-30 handi (thanks Mac It's your barrel) Anouther handi moment
90 lb doe 131 yrd shot, confirmed with a rangefinder.
2 does were walking out into the field 300yrds away towards our stand. Browzing as they went. My son waited it took 20min to get to 200 yrds from us, then some crows flew in. One doe trotted over to run them off & before I could tell him to wait, they were going to come closer, because the 2nd doe was catching up to the 1st, BOOM he let loose. I asked him why he did not let them come closer, His reply " I was confident in my shot" talk about a proud Dad. He the took a moment & said a prayer for the animal because he was sad to have taken it but very proud of himself at the same time.
He also helped me field dress & butcher HIS deer!
He also remarked that he will keep his 3030 handi forever because it is what he used to get his first deer.,
I have a picture to post but I keep getting kicked out of the photo host, file is too large I think & My country dial up is sooo sloooow. If someone would be kind enough to try & post the pick I would e-mail it too you He is a very proud young man & has shown the hard copy picture to anyone who will see it.
