Dropped his first deer on Friday. Before anyone rags on me, we do not typically shoot yearlings, but we have had trouble with our feeders and are also in the process of putting up a new fence, so the deer have been few and far between. But, in two days this was all we saw. He has been waiting his turn for a few years so I agreed to let him shoot it. He is dropped it at a little over 100 yards. He is anexcellent shot and has eagle eyes, he can spot deer in thick brush better than anyone I know. Again, hated to shoot a young deer but it's all we had. One positive note the meat will be tender. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/12/full-33365-375166-20221223_173509.jpg)

Don't worry about what people think. Some folks on the internet have either never known, or forgotten what hunting's all about. It's not about "age & score" to a kid. Good on you for getting him out there.

Congrats young man you did a great job. That deer is a trophy in my book for sure. I remember a few that size I am very proud of having gotten some years are very tough and thankful for Gods bounty.
Great job Coach, memories for a couple lifetimes made.

Congratulations! I'd shake his hand and welcome him into the group of those that have hunted hard and achieved.

No criticism here. Where do you hunt? Looks like maybe a hill country deer?

Menard seems right. Bigger deer here in north Texas, but not so many.

Nothing wrong with that at all! Happy to see the young man enjoy what we enjoy. Considering the fact that there hasn't been a single negative reply, I don't think he did have to apologize. Good job coach. You've got a hunting partner for life. Enjoy!
