Jacob shot his first deer!!!!!

Tuesday evening caught Jay and I (Coy) in a tree stand on the edge of a power-line overlooking a food plot. About 10 minutes before dark, we spotted 3 does crossing the power-line at about 150 yards to our left. Jay got the gun up but decided it was to far and dark for his shooting capabilities. No more then 3 minutes after this decision we heard movement on the right and a large spike walked out broadside. After stopping him with some grunts, Jay's .243 Remington roared. After finding the deer about 25 yards away we realized he doubled lunged him through the heart and broke a shoulder. Patience is truly a virtue.


This was Jay's first deer and it was a big one.
