Juvenile Hunt


Recommended Posts

Well, grandson got a deer but considerable smaller than last year. He got a spike that was about 100 lbs but was late in the day and light was fading so he decided something was better than nothing and bagged it. Freezer meat is freezer meat........ :up:

I'm beginning to think I owned a special rifle or something. Back in 1989 after they stole all my guns in home burglary in 1988 I bought a used Marlin 30-30 from an old man that lived about 5 doors down from me. He told me it was a deer slayer. Well, I bagged 4 deer that year with it. No Scope, just open sights. The following year I let my younger son borrow it to go hunting because I was involved with taking care of his brother. He ended up bagging three deer and his first one was a 14 point buck. Since I had pretty much quit hunting by then I just let him keep the gun. When his oldest son Justin got into hunting at about age 10 he had bought a 30-06 and passed the Marlin down to Justin. On his first Juvenile Hunt Justin also bagged a 14 point buck. Thinking it was just luck but now I am beginning to wonder. I have a young grandson named Logan that came along as a surprise to them  after Justin and Cody his first 2 sons were 19 and 17. Well, Logan was always after Justin to take him hunting so he started taking him Squirrel hunting and Justin said he was a natural hunter. Last year at age 10 Justin passed the marlin down to Logan cause he bought a 270 to hunt with and Logan's first deer last year was of all things, a 14 point buck. Gun still does not have a scope so all those big deer have been taken with young people with open sights.

     The old man said it was a deer slayer and he was sure right. Just wanted to share that with ya'll cause I thought it was kind of odd......................... :up:
