Will specifically asked to go "hunting with Grandpa" for his birthday "without my brothers or sister." And said "I don't want a birthday party. I just want to go hunting with Grandpa." So we got a weekend on the calendar. In anticipation for the weekend, my dad bought Will a deer rifle for his 8th birthday (gulp!) I was really unsure about it but Grandpa and Matt both assured me that he was ready.
We all went to Cabela's as it was purchased. Thankfully we did because Matt quickly realized the one that my dad was going to get was not the correct size or power for him. The weekend they went down to Freer (Rancho Venado Grande) and sighted in the scope and practiced. Will was a natural and was hitting the targets correctly. So Grandpa took him out into the stand the next day (Saturday, November 7th).
They saw a beautiful buck and Will shot it perfectly without any hesitation. My dad said it could not have been a better shot. Right in the heart and he went down immediately. WOW! When dad was texting me those pictures I just could not believe it. Will was so proud. It scored a 160 and he was placed up on the wall along with others at Freer. Very cute. Will cried when we picked him up because he did not want the weekend to end.
