Well, he went and did it. Yesterday about 945 am Sunny Buck was in a treestand with Pop (my Dad) and the big doe walks up. He set his site's on her and the ball goes through the 3rd rib and out the off shoulder... Pop only stepped in to finish her off do to the fact that she was only 2 steps from the line and we can not go over there... Weapon used was a copy of the Hawkens .50 cal, .490-190 gr patched round ball with 60 gr of powder... He is in school today and wish I could have been there to hear how this story grows... I may not have been there with him when he got his first deer but I can not think of anyone else that I would like to have seen Sunny Buck with for his first deer, yes even myself. Sunny Buck in Named after Pop and now they share more then just a name. I hope and pray that they have many more seasons togeather. Sunny Buck is 8 and Pop is 65.

Congratulate that young feller for me Frank! ;D I love them first deer stories! I got mine back in '86 and my Dad was in a treestand about fifty yards from me. He watched the whole thing and told me how special it was for him to be there for my first deer. I now share that same feeling with my much younger sister Chicken, who I took out a few days ago and was with her when she killed her first deer. A doe, just like Sunny Buck's. That's something he nor Grampa are ever gonna forget!
