This morning my oldest son and I elected ourselves to help one of his fellow soldier's with his and his 11 yr. old son with their deer hunt.
We got out to the unit just before sun up, set up out pods and optics and right off the bat glassed up several groups of deer. Then I spotted a monster, so we got the hunters geared up with ear bubs and started guiding them in. But as luck would have it, another hunter came out of no where and sent the big buck over the top of the mountain, bummer.
So we continued glassing and my son spotted two little guys about 500 yds. away, so we thought this will work for a youngsters first deer. We got him within 350 yds. exactly 350 yds., and then set up the Caldwell field rest, and to my surprise this little first time hunter nailed that buck, dropped him right there!
My boy and Iike hunting as much as the next person, but being able to make things come together for a youngster is no less, if not more satisfying than shooting it myself..
