Watch for Deer.

This kind of thing is going to ruin it for the rest of us. I have no idea why some hunters are that freaking desperate to get a deer, nor can I understand why anyone would chance injuring one and have it possibly run off, die a miserable death and be a total loss and waste.

Kudos for teaching your son the right way to hunt, passing on a bad shot doesn't make him any less of a hunter, and good for him for ending up being successful later on!

Most of my sons gun handling qualities he learned in the Army while training to serve a term in Iraq.
His step father is also a big hunter had a hand in the learning process as well.
Top it off with a really good head on his shoulders when it comes to handling a firearm.
Although I am all for hunting, I have never actually found the time to do so.
The sad thing is I can look out my window and see turkeys and deer all year.
I have had the opportunity, over the years to sample deer, moose, antelope, elk, and this past summer bear.
