| Well folks, my son shot his first deer yesterday morning. A litle 9 point jumped out of the bushes in front of him and headed straight for him. It stopped facing him directly at 25 yards and he stuck a 130gr Ballistic tips right into the chest. The deer never moved which is good because it never bled externally either. Chest cavity was a mess though and plenty of blood there. I will try to post a picture shortly. |

| John, we are going to mount just the antlers for his room. A whole head was a bit pricey.
BigBlue, both the grins were pretty big. The friend whose property we were hunting on was pleased as well. |

When my nephew shot his first (with my rifle, he'd managed to drop the muzzle of his .308 in the mud!), I gave him the cartridge to mount with the horns. He really enjoyed that and that nickel .280 looks pretty neat mounted between them antlers. |

| Boomer, that is an interesting idea, particularly since I reloaded his ammo.
Whitetail, absolutely great memories. For him, me and the friend whose land we were on. |

| Boomer, welcome to deer season in southside VA. Sometimes gets close to the 80's in the early part of the season. That day, it was in the 50's. |

| Twillis don't know which is the best trophy. The deer or the smile on that young mans face. |
