[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5747537, member: 10399"] My son is 8, and this will be his first year on the gun. I have deer hunted since my dad thought I was big enough to shoot his .270, but I have never been more excited for a hunt than I am for this weekend. I know we desperately need ran, and my food plots agree, so I wont complain about the forecast. I'm not concerned about getting wet -- it is going to be warm and we will be in a box blind -- but I am a little concerned about the impact of rain should we need to blood trail a deer. If the gun was in my hands on a rainy day, I would focus on a high-shoulder shot to limit that risk. But it will be an 8-year-old shooting a 300 Blackout, and I have preached extensively about shot placement behind the shoulder. I suppose I will just try to pay attention to radar, but if a deer steps out while a heavier rain is falling or imminent, it will be an uncomfortable dilemma. Anybody else worried about this?
