The boys ages 5 and 9 have been waiting for weeks for opening day of muzzle loader season. We had been getting pictures of some good bucks. We was watching 8 deer when the 10 pointer walked out pushing the does. Raylen my 9 year old said dad give me the gun so I helped him get the gun in position. I could feel the entire stand shaking from buck fever! I told him to take a few deep breaths and try to calm down just a little. He was taking forever it felt like and he finally said dad I’m on him. He made a perfect shot at 158 yards. The deer dropped immediately. Then both boys went crazy with excitement.
