@Nathan F Oh, I missed that saw from the picture. Good place, good hunt, good deer...thanks for sharing.

Excellent. Well done, making memories right there.

Great yarn Nathan. Looks like the young fella is turning into a great hunter, with a dad like you I’m not surprised.
Sons are great company aye, mine announced recently, ‘I’m going to head shoot that stag at 260 yards with the 300 RUM’. I thought that was a bit unnecessary, but he did it anyway! I shot its mate through the shoulder. Seemed like the right thing to do. :-)

You've got a sharp shooter on your hands @craigc ! I cant wait til mines a bit older . He is going to be massive around 6"5 so he can start lugging loads !

Craig's lad (My GS) is pest contracting so on a rifle most of the time, so he should be able to shoot. God I wish I was still 19 and as fit as he is. Better still to be your lad's age with everything in front of him. Lucky boy having a Dad nudging him in the right direction... you are doing good work.

It sure is good when they get older my boy is now 6'6 and 36 year old I had to call him for help last time out I had shot 5 and was totally buggered and needed some young legs.
I keep thinking I'm 30 again.
