10 year old boy's first hunt- one shot- two deer- no joke

My son's first shot at a deer. He used a 6.8 mm Rem SPC at about 60 yards from a ground blind. The buck had a through and through wound at the front shoulder that hit both lungs- the doe was a (lucky) heart shot- no exit wound. Later we had a talk about knowing what is beyond your target at all times- but in the moment I was just plain amazed that such a thing could happen!

NRA Safety rule: Know your target and what is beyond.

@21oPlato Right you are. We had a talk about that. To be honest, any hunter that promises you there is nothing directly behind a target is an idiot or a liar..... or he has x-ray vision. It is impossible to know everything in your shot path, but your point about safety is a good one.

Gee alienboy, you seem really upset. You shouldn't allow yourself to get worked up like that. Have you considered taking up a hobby to help you relax? I suggest hunting. ;) But really, dude- "shoot yourself"? Seriously? Man you don't know me. I am a cancer doctor and a father of four. I eat everything that I hunt. Not sure why you think I'm such a bad guy, but you need to relax. Also, for the record- unless you are a vegan who NEVER wear leather, you are a total hypocrite. Either way- RELAX.

@Totokorquil Well, you're the expert on gay, so I won't argue with you there. But fake? I ate both of those animals. If they were fakes, they were damn impressive fakes. I have the head of the buck on my wall. Explain again why they are fakes?

Haha NICE!

@NowIAmAwake I don't understand why you never "learned" proper English. And I believe he can teach his son how to kill and to treat every living being with respect at the same time. There is nothing wrong with hunting animals for eating. God put these animals on the earth for a reason, we eat meat, plain and simple.

[NowIAmAwake]

No offence, but I really don't understand why anyone would learn his children to kill instead of leaning them to treat every living being with respect.
