14 Year Old Boy Knocks Down Back to Back 8’s w/ the Compound 11/3/18 (Pics)

 I wasn’t able to get off of work yesterday, so my wife took our son out for the 2018 New Jersey youth pheasant day at Black River in Chester. I thought that was pretty cool of her and Junior was able to get a couple of birds that we cooked up last night. However, it didn’t end there. She then drove  him to one of our hunting spots in Zone 13 for an afternoon sit for deer with his compound bow. He thought it might be to windy, but I encouraged him to give it a shot. He was able to rattle in this pretty 8 point buck to within 15 yards of his treestand where he made a very nice quartering away shot. The buck only went 40 yards before dropping in sight of the stand.  This kid is light years ahead where I was at that age and I can’t wait to see how much better he can get. He has an amazing passion for the sport & I hope he continues to build on this early success when the gun season comes around, but two 8 pointers with the compound bow isn’t  bad.
