My 8 yr old's buck

[petey]

So my boy is at it again. Killing his first buck at age 6 under PA's Mentored Youth program, he just smacked his second buck at age 8. Last year he hunted hard every day of rifle season, but I could never seem to get him in front of a buck for a good shot. Making him put out some good grades in 2nd grade, he earned his own crossbow at $5 an "A". I figured it would be easier on him to hunt during archery season, instead of having to deal with our harsh weather during rifle season. He practiced quite a bit this summer and layed the smack down on this buck at 40 yards yesterday. He picked out the biggest of 3 bucks that were in front of us and closed the deal.

Special thanks to big_brother and ol_spark to help on the retrieval of his 2nd buck in 3 years of hunting.

Here's a couple pics of the happy hunter and the retrieval crew!
