8-Year Old’s First Deer

 

On his second sit of the year, Cayson was able to get the job done on this buck. The night before, this same buck came in and never stepped into a lane for a good shot. Undeterred, Cayson wanted to try again Saturday night, 9/20/25. With a nearby thunderstorm threatening to end the hunt, he got the chance to bag his first deer! With his Ruger Hawkeye 7mm-08, he made a nice double lung shot on this buck at about 65 yards right at sunset. Such a well placed shot that minimal tracking was needed. A perfect end to a perfect Saturday in the Carolina woods!
