We hunted hard all weekend only going back to the truck for about 2 hours to eat then back out in the woods. The first day of kentuckys youth season was a bust for us, we didnt even see a deer. On the second morning we saw 3 does but they winded us before comming out of the thicket.
The final afternoon i took my boy to a CRP field that was cut on the edges. We got set up and waited. At about 7:15 (about 30min of light left) a deer steps foot in the cut edge. I tap my boy and get the rangefinder on it. 213yrds, i tell him where to aim and he touches off the 7mm-08. I watched the deer kick, tuck tail and run back in the woods.
My boy made a perfect shot behind the shoulder and exiting infront of the off shoulder, taking out both heart and lungs. I couldnt be more proud.
