My kid dropped a 6pt buck tonight in full velvet. I dont even have a deer in velvet but he stepped out and she took the shot. 13 years old and her Savage Axis 243win in muddy girl pink did its job. She had a perfect heart/lung shot.

Way to go, Dad!

Yes. Yes it does.

She looks really happy.

Are you getting it mounted?

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Congratulations.

I had no idea deer season started this early in some states.

Congratulations to you both! I'm looking forward to taking my youngest grandson dove hunting in a few more weeks. Might get to take him out for NC Youth Hunt 27-28 September before I head back to Iraq.
