My 9 year old

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.

Congrats young man!!!! Be proud to boost about your ability to provide and serve your family at dinner time!!!

Welcome to eternal campfire of hunters!

Looks like a trophy to me.

Trophy for sure. Smile says it all. He will always remember the first one. Congrats to both of you

Well done, young man! Doesn't get any better than that! And ain't nothing wrong with that deer... will melt in your mouth!

The smile says it all. Coach, that is a trophy to that little boy and good eatin' too. Yall made memories together that will never be forgotten.

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 to the youngster with the big smile and his first trophy. A great memory both of you.

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.

Awesome! Now he is hooked! Good job Dad!

He is definitely hooked, he is already talking about next year.

Congrats young man that's an awesome first deer

Congrats to the young man! A youngster's first deer is ALWAYS a trophy!

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

This!

congrats on that deer!! dont apologize about that at all!

Menard

Good job. Hey , its more than I got this year.

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

Good job. Takes more skill to hit one that size. Ought to be some good eating.

Lone star rider 🤣🤣🤣 good job coach and son

Great job all around

I really hate the fact that you have to apologize to the THF about the age/size of your son's first deer... Too many blow hards.

Congrats and good shooting young man!! Good job dad!!

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!

Yes sir, I probably could have worded that better... "I really hate the fact that you feel obligated to apologize..."

Nothing but good vibes in this thread!!

again........ im happy for you and the kiddo... thats awesome all the way around

Congrats.

That is awesome Coach. Congrats to you and little man Sir

Heck ya good job lil man

A first deer is a major Trophy and you and he have done well!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy new year and may this be the genesis of huge trophies in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This.

Now bust out some of that whiskey and give him a shot!

Oh, he snuck one, hopefully it will deter him from picking that habit up.

Congratulations to both of you.

Congratulations
