My 8 year old, 52 pound son got his first deer Sunday evening in the last hour of the last day of the last season (antlerless only).
Savage 220 with Leupold 3x9 firedot, Hornady sst ammo, caldwell tripod, xenik blind.
Waited until he had a good shot with no chance of hitting deer behind it, no limbs in way, and not moving. About 80 yards away. Claimed he shot it in the heart right after shot and field dressing proved him right. His second grade teacher made a big deal of it today so he's pretty pumped. Only one in his class who has passed hunter safety and shot a deer so far.

That is very nice that a teacher can recognize the achievement and encourage it. I still recall with very fond memories my first teacher that was openly pro gun and pro hunting. His anecdotes of his hunting experiences during class made going to class something to look forward to.
Congrats to your son on his first!!

Thanks everyone! Really proud that he waited until he had a good shot with no risk of hitting one of the others.
