That was exciting, Hunter! 270 yards isn't a close shot; it's good that you didn't squeeze when you weren't comfortable. Half the guys I know couldn't have made that shot; you are learning and getting better. Good hunt!

Great job young man for not rushing the shot! You can't undo a bad one.

Respect for you on your patience, we all have to start somewhere. May you and your boy have all the success!

The boy is learning 3 life factors, patience, timing, and disappointment. Good video

His face needed to be at least 5 inches closer to the scope to get full view. I think he might have been looking through a black key hole haha

Hard lessons learned I’ve been there when I was young and definitely learned from it! Now when a buck gets in my scope it’s lights out

Looks to me like he didn't have the rifle in a good position to properly view the buck through the scope. Appeared the scope was too far away from his eye.

You set up on top of poison oak??? Unless I'm mistaken and it's something else.. Man, your brave!!!!

Being a young hunter has to be tough. I don't know if I could of done it, but my dad never took us hunting. We went fishing when I was his age, and usually it was him taking us out before the gates were open to the lake. I never shot my first Black Tail tell I was in my early 30's, and I shot a nice 3 point. One year on opening day I could of shot a small spike, but it was too early in the season. My wife and I watched it turn to look around the corner of the road we were on, and I told my wife that someone else is driving down the road. I decided to run the spike off, and around the corner was a man and his chubby kid. I asked them if they seen the spike, but they didn't because they were looking on a hill side. The CHUBBY kid asked why I didn't shoot it, and I said I was looking for a MATURE BUCK! The CHUBBY kid said "YOU CAN'T EAT THEM HORNS!" I would of gave him a DOUGHNUT if I had one! LOL

Better luck next time buddy. That was a long shot. Great patience bro.

You my friend look like the canadian Lionel Messi...😂🤣👍

I get it, I got my son into a hunter safety class as soon as I could. It took three attempts over two yrs, at about the same age. Since you named him Hunter it's a given that hunting is your passion ? But clearly he is not ready to pull the trigger on live game ! Much different then paper ! Patience is one thing, maturity is another ? Pump the brakes pop !

Man when I was 12 I was having to walk down there behind the gates. If I was hesitant my dad would be saying shoot it now! shoot! shoot!

Live the family time, spent many a day hunting and fishing with my dad.

Good stuff. Hunting is like that. Shooting too.

Spots just above my house place gets hunted hard that a long ways to the bottom

Much respect..good experience..

Great vid!!

Coast over by Brennan?

Looks like the spot in Lewis county I've been hunting the last 25 years.

Where y’all from? Or hunt at anyway? What region?

Where'd you get the camo blaze orange vest? Weird but I've been struggling to find a good one.

I'm sry but his head was so far away from the scope no way he could see anything threw it. I'm not trying to be rude but your the one with experince and should have told him to get his eye's closer so he could see what was going on.

It's a tough situation, and it was an intimidating shot at that distance, but it is what it is. Next time.

You mess with the gun the whole time when the deer is in the rd, then when it gets in the brush and kid can't pick it up you belittle him. Over half your videos are a perfect example of what not to while hunting. Do better.
