My youngest son was invited to go hunt with a coworker. He showed my son a picture of a deer and told him not to kill it. He also said he had a picture of another deer but that was all he said. Just before dark a deer walked out and my son shot knowing it wasn't the deer he had saw the picture of. He called me and told me he had shot a big deer but didn't have a light. I told him to wait until morning and look for it. The next morning the deer was bedded down about 150 yards away from where he had shot. When the deer tried to get up he shot it again and killed it.
View attachment 287364This is the deer he was told not to kill.
The coworker didn't speak to him for awhile.
He recently called and invited him to hunt but does only.
He killed his first buck with a bow in September before the big deer in December. It scored in the 180's.
