My grandson, age 8, shot his first deer yesterday during Michigan's youth deer hunting weekend. He used a shortened stocked number 1A CHP over run in 357 mag. (don't fret I still have the original stock for it)

Congratulations! That young man looks plenty proud, and he should be. My little boy is in his 50s now. I remember when he was that age and his first deer.

Outstanding! Congratulations!

He is hooked now!
He may harvest a lot more Deer in his life, but this Doe will always be special!
Thanks for sharing,
Terry

Better look out for flying buttons! Grandpa must be proud enough to pop his! You are a blessed man to have a grandson to teach how to hunt and be a good sportsman. You and he both will always remember this event in his life. May you hunt together for many years to come.

Congrats to your grandson, it's a memory that will never leave him, and what a wonderful rifle to do it with. Is that the one you were looking for a stock for? Looks like you got it nicely sorted out.

yep, found the stock at a local gun show. Stock was in good shape so only had to cut it down and re-sand the butt pad to fit. Great kid gun, light weight, mild recoil and does a good job on deer out to 75 yds.
Got his first turkey this spring also, but had to use a youth mossberg as I could not find a red label stock to shorten.

and his 10 pound coho from this summer, and yes I'm one proud grampa

He's turning into a game slayer, give it time and he'll grow into a Red Label and really appreciate it.

Seeing kids get into the outdoors is great. Getting them hooked on hunting is even better.

KUDOS to him for a FINE deer!

Shake his hand for us!
