My oldest son's day!

[cwtebay]

I told my oldest son that he could play hookey this morning as the rut started hard. It paid off in spades as he found the buck he'd been waiting for since seeing him in August. He stole my Model 71 and put a nice stalk on him, shot him through the neck at 170 yards - boom whop!!!
Pretty proud dad with a very proud young man.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211122/4f38a822314e0f1972a881463e2b1c8f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211122/8c611d5f27ad04f0da0e42ea977d7910.jpg

Just goes to show you, sometimes you get a 'buck', when you play hookey'!
Nice, congrats!

[Minerat]

Well worth the day off school. Tell him congratulations and nice job.

[TNsailorman]

Yes a very nice shot and a very nice buck. Ain't it wonderful to have young eyes. Congratulations, james[smilie=s:

[BigAlofPa.]

Very nice buck. Congrats to your son.

[koger]

Dang nice buck with a classic lever gun, great way for a young man to get it done!!

[Winger Ed.]

Way cool.

It'll make a nice mount too.

Another one falls to the 348 Winchester!

Non typical buck meets non typical gun.

way to go!!!!!!!

Awesome, I got a similar one with my 336 today. Took me a few years longer than he did though, I'm 43

[trails4u]

I do love the choice of the 71......classic!

[Pete44mag]

He will remember that buck long after he would remember the day he missed in school!

A neck shot at 170 yards is unethical. I would kick his ass. Only a fool takes a neck shot at 170 yards with open sights. I would not be proud of my son for being stupid.

My opinion is the boy took a shoulder shot and hit the neck....pure luck.

I am appalled that people encourage, enable and applaud this kind of BS or lack critical thinking skills.

BTW, for those of you supporting this BS, do you know anyone who could make the shot. Did you ever have the capability of making that shot on your best days? And if you had the marksmanship skills, would you risk the shot?

The boy did not make a good shot....he missed his POA by about 16-20”.

I think you may have decreased your firearm inventory by one.

[Don McDowell]

Good luck prying that rifle out of that young man's hands..:)
Well done.

Jeez man be happy ! one shot + dead deer = kid grinning -----did he get lucky ? only one person knows that fer sure ....If it was me did that shot and meant it there would be a plastic plate posted here tomorrow with five .348cal holes in it and an expectation of an apology -- most of us aint that good but he just might be..................Dad says he made a good stalk, if he had a decent rest and good eyes ? the gun is certainly up to the job ...................

[Shawlerbrook]

Congratulations to the young man. He has great taste in rifles.

[smkummer]

Congrats to your son. I used to load .348 for a friend. When you get a chance, can you see if you sent the 30-40 brass?

haha i was going to comment the same,..... "he missed the shoulder by a mile" no one aims for neck with buckhorn opens ... at close to 200! ha ha

[T.R.]

Tasty venison for the freezer and a nice rack for the wall. Good shooting!

[RGMO]

Obviously you've never shot long range matches! 4 inch bulls at 200 yards....
