Never to Old to be Impressed

Took the boy (grandson) out to our hut yesterday for the night. Turned out that we hunted a block that had only been mustered the day before which is never a good idea. Any rate, seen nothin to shoot at last night but this morning in a new direction was a whole different story. Up at 4.30 and on the hill at 5ish just as the sky was lighting up in the east. Hinds and fawns everywhere once the light allowed a bit of glassing. Sidled round up high when the young fella says, 'Grandad, over there". Sure enough, 2 big fat velvety stags. Into action and a bit of elevation adjustment on the turret, attach the bipod, just below the ear I tell him, and off goes the wee 50 Gr soft point. And now there's only one velvety stag runnin around. Just poleaxed him, very impressive

Proud Grandad!

should be fat venison.....make sure the young fella gets to help cook some up and scoff between buttered white toast bread with salt n a little pepper...he will be hooked for life.
good on you for being such a good guide
headshots at his age...look out world,this one is going places.

Great shooting, what calibre 50grain?
