My Son's First Buck with his Remington 700
Submitted: Nov 02, 2009

After six months of working on the lease building fences, buying feeders, repairing fences after the cows found the feeders, building the blind with my son, and all the miscellaneous work that goes into preparing a lease for the opeing day hunt, it was finally the youth weekend opening day. My son Garrett and I went to the lease on Friday after removing him from school a little early for the annual "Doctor's appointment". After a fantaistic meal of ribs and slaw with friends, it was off to bed. Garrett has been hunting with me for over 3 years, but this was the first time he was to pull the trigger. We both awoke before the alarm and got dressed. We took time to offer a thank you to God for being so great and such an influence in our life, loaded into the new Ranger, and headed out to the lease. We parked what seemed like miles away and quitely walked to the blind. After settling in, we loaded the Remington 700 with Nikon Buckmaster scope, and waited for the sun to rise. We at first saw a few medley of small bucks that we'd been watching for months on the camera since august. About 9:30, we saw the two small bucks in the feeder pen turn towards the forest and look attentively towards something. Then like the hand of God placed him there, a beautiful 10-point buck is on the corner of the feeder. We both gasped, hearts a racing and barely able to speak, Garrett clicks off the safety and begins tracking this new buck. He walks right to the front of the feeder pen and turns broadside for the perfect 95-yard shot. Garrett waits and calms his nerves, and the third time the buck turns broadside to him, he pulls the trigger. His Remington dropped that buck like a rock and we began the clebration. It was an unbelievable time for us both, but as the Dad it was magical to watch him create a memory that i know we will have forever and hopefully pass on to his kids.
