Where are the youth deer pics?

[BrokenBackJack]

Congrats to the young man and that smile, says it all.
Get that picture enlarged and put in a nice frame, and hang it on a wall.

Junior scored this weekend on a SD mentored tag, which is what the ND youth tag should be. The season runs from the beginning of September to the end of December.

I don't know which one of us was more excited. I know my heart was pounding as I watched through the binos, waiting for her to turn broadside and give the go-ahead. He made a perfect double-lung shot at 206 yards. That may sound a bit far for a kid, but he's been banging steel from every position this summer from that range and further.

I'm still impressed with the 85 TSX out of the 6 Grendel (basically a 6mm ARC before it existed). It doesn't flatten deer, but they don't go far. The bullet is somewhere in the hillside, but the lungs were pretty much soup.

Last day success.

Congrats to the young lady.

My 11 year old son filled his ND youth doe tag on the last day of the youth season after many failed attempts(learning moments hopefully) Put it right in the sweet spot at 200ish yards with dads 6.5cm. Pretty special moment these kids get at such a young age.

yep, that there is what it is all about

Congrats!

Looks like you lost your rifle!

Starting this up again.

Same spot as last year. Had 3 does moving right to left in the cut corn between the slough and the standing corn. They were obscured by slough grass here and there. When the biggest one stepped into an opening, I whistled like I would to stop an approaching coyote. It stopped and junior made a perfect shot.

130 yards. 85 Barnes TSX. 6mm Grendel.
He's 4 for 4 with this combo. It doesn't drop them, but they don't go far, and they leave a blood trail that a blind man could follow.

This year he did all the gutting (with some instruction), and helped me debone it later. Next year he'll be 14 and can shoot a buck. That should be fun.

Nice, Congrats to your son and good job getting him out. What are you getting for speed on the 6mm Grendel? Got an AR setup with 6.5 Grendel shooting Hornady 123gr SST or ELD-M for my daughter, she leveled her doe at 80yds last year with the 123 SST.

Mono's suck at killing Just ask all the guys that hunt and kill 100-200 animals a year.
This being typed from a guy currently load developing at 7mm and 257 Wby Mag with Barnes TTSX and LRX. I used to call my 7mm with 140gr TTSX Thor's Hammer by me every time I sent a picture of a buck down to a couple buddies, if I do my part I always watched them drop in sight. Daughter is itching for rifle to open back up to fill her tag on a bigger doe than last year.

It's 22" barrel, and I'm getting about 3005 FPS with that 85 TSX and H4895. -- That one could be a bit hot...
It also shoots the 87 v-max at 2975 FPS with LEVERevolution, which is in line with Hornady 6mm ARC data. That's been a coyote hammer.

Holy Schlamola!! The 243 bounces off deer and then you go and use a 6 Grendel??



Sarcasm off:

Looks like a plan executed to perfection. Congrats to your young man.

Yeah, I think if you slow the bullet down a bit, then they blow right through. It's science.

Great work SY. My 14 year old son will be chasing his buck in November.

Stumbled on this YouTube video of a very young man shooting his first bow buck. You gotta watch for his reaction - I copied the URL at the time just before the shot so you don't have to skip to the right time.

It's why we take the kids! Very much looking forward to Friday with my 14 year old son.
