sherman Report post Posted October 15 My son was finally blessed with his first kill of any kind. For the last 3 years he has hunted busting his but trying to get a buck. He has a condition with his hips where he has a flat spot on the ball. I know it hurts him but he never complains so I have keep an eye on him. We had to deal with high temperatures down south. On Sunday we went to a spot my cousin said may hold good Muledeer i was thinking it might be easier walking. We we didn't find any muledeer and about 9 we where on the move to another glassing spot. Something told me to stop the truck and glass and within 5 minutes I had 2 whitetail bucks at probably a mile. We got ready and moved in on them. We found them again at 500 yards and watched them bed. Then we moved closer within 300 yards I told my son to settle in it might be a while. Well he was getting restless and we spoke about if he was wanting to stay or head back to the truck. He said let me think about it for a while I responded with ok while you think about it I will glass maybe one of them stood up. And sure as shoot the 2x2 was on his feet. He got excited and told me he would take him he just wanted to get the first one done 300 yards he drilled him after 2 nervous misses.

I agree I also underestimated what it could do until I bought the one he uses for javelina and started reloading for it I gave him it and ended buying another one out of a friend's estate and my longest kill to date was with it.
