early muzzleloader season in Kentucky. My eldest (10) and I hit the woods for a morning hunt. About an hour in he saw this guy first working up the edge of the field and timber. The young buck turned and came right to our stands at 10 yards. My son was so worked up and shaking that he missed a clean broadside shot at 10 yards!!! The buck took a few leaps and stopped at 35 yards. He thought he hit him and he kept whispering "go down, go down." After a couple seconds, I realized this buck was not hit. I grabbed the gun (my son was on another stand on the opposite side of the tree) and tried to reload as quickly as possible. By this time the buck had us pegged so every time he looked up I had to stop moving. Took an eternity it seemed to reload the CVA accura, but I got the cap in and handed it back to my son. Second shot was the ticket and he put him down in his tracks. A healthy young 8 pointer. Great memory as I'll never forget the cheering and high fives. Proud papa. Still working on getting my middle son on his first deer .
