Well, we had " the talk " and he's on board. If the buck shows up and is in range, he can shoot. I've worked hard to get him in the proper mindset of a clean shot is the goal, no matter what the animal. He'll be ready. Not saying he won't but everyone thinks they are ready going into it. Some stay calm and some lose some of their composer in the excitement. My youngest is rock solid in the moment and my oldest is like me and can get a little amped up. Personally I hope I always get a little bit of adrenaline shot when the moment is about to happen. That's what I live for but it's took a lot of practice to control it. You can preach and teach all you want and adrenaline can make you forget everything you just thought about 60 seconds ago and there isn't anything you can do about it until you have experienced it sometimes.

Judging by how his rack has gone down he is smart and you probly won't see him in the daylight. Better let anyone that sees him shoot it. This is what I was thinking. I've got all kinds of pics of nice deer that I never even saw while hunting. I wouldn't let the thought of this deer stepping out ruin his chances to take another deer for his first, but if he walks out, absolutely shoot him!

We learned our lesson last year. I decided to let the boys hunt a big buck we had on camera. The neighbor several miles away got him. We decided after that "we" all hunt a buck if it's really big. Did you hear what he scored after the neighbor got him?

Did you hear what he scored after the neighbor got him? Neighbor doesn't know much about scores, he said net 165. He had 7"of deduction just on the brow tine which would put him at 172 . Judging from all the pics we had of him his tines on one side were all a bit longer than the other side so I'm guessing him to gross high 170s or low 180s.

Take him hunting. Who knows if you'll even see that deer. Go have fun and have him shoot what HE wants. If shooting a buck with big antlers "ruins" him I guess hunting isn't going to be his thing. Most of all go out and enjoy the time in the woods and don't put emphasis on big antlers. It should be the whole experience of hunting and time with family

That would be quite a first deer! He would never top it. But let him go for it. He very easily could. That is a nice deer, but NY has much better.
