My son got it done

[Sshierry]

So opening weekend my son's target deer came in and offered him a shot. Everything looked and felt good but the deer jumped string a little and he ended up hitting him high. He was heart broken. No vitals and arrow exited above the off side shoulder. I told him not to worry that he'd have another chance at him. 2 days later and the buck was back at the feeder. Fast forward to this past weekend and Saturday morning he comes in about 8;15. Trent draws on him 3 times and has to let down each time. He had moved his chair over too far in the dark and didn't have the greatest position. His buck ends up leaving and Trent was sick again. Thought he'd blew his shot. I told him I was proud and that he'd made all the right choices and didn't rush the shot or take a bad angle even tho he wanted the deer so bad, and that it was going to pay off for him. Saturday evening, we had seen all the same deer from the morning sit minus the one we were after. About 20 minutes till end of shooting light, his buck jumps in the feed pen. Trent is set up better this time and he gets drawn on the buck only to have to let down again. Buck spooks and starts to leave but comes back to the feeder only to stand behind it for what seems like an eternity. He finally works his way around and Trent gets drawn, waits for the leg to come forward, settles his pin and squeezes his release. The arrow disappears behind the shoulder, perfect heart shot and we watch the deer go down about 30 yrds outside of the feed pen. he was ecstatic and the reward and excitement on his face makes this one of my favorite deer by far, although not the biggest. First pic is of the spot he shot him the first time.
