Here's a picture of Josh Wilson (grandson of Bill Wilson) with his first deer, a nice 8pt he shot with his dad's WC THL(Tactical Hunter Lightweight) 6.8 using factory SSA 110gr TSX load. He made the shot from a box blind from 150yds with no assistance from his dad except spotting thru binos and coaching. Deer ran 40yds, stopped and stood for a few seconds then fell over dead. Not sure who's most excited Josh, his dad or grandpa!!!!!!

Congrats Josh (Dad and Grandfather too)! Photos like this are great. Getting out and hunting with the family is definitely a time honored tradition to be treasured.

That sure is a nice deer... When I was that age for some reason deer just ran from me, I never got to touch one. :a09:

That is just awesome! He is one happy boy with his first deer, I imagine his dad's smile was even bigger.

Wow !!! That is awesome, nothing in the world any better than taking your children or grandchildren hunting and especially their first kill. My 8 year old grandson has been going with me some and it's a pure pleasure watching him get excited when he sees a deer. Thanks for sharing this with all of us..
