Youth Hunters season began this weekend in Tejas - took my Son to Central Texas for a long weekend camping/hunting trip. Weather was nice - low 50's, 40's at night. The land owner would only let him take a doe this time around. Second day this one presented at 85 yards out. She came crosswise and he took her with a .250, shot behind shoulder. She dropped instantly, kicked twice and expired. He wanted to keep the hide as well as the meat. Both at the processors now - below is him right after and below that is the meat that I took to get it ground and sausage made as well as some steaks. Deer weighed 84lbs - typical for Texas...
I was proud of how he acted - respectful to the deer and very patient during the hunt. Never had to ask to help set up camp or break down. Years of scouts have set in!
