#2 Buck for 11 year old

A friend in Illinois sent me a pict this morning of her 11 year old boy with a Buck taken this morning with a muzzle loader. This is his second year hunting and his second buck. kids make me sick LOL. The deer is huge. they field dressed it and it took 3 men to load it. She said it dressed out at 261lbs. I hope she is right. They are in touch with the local paper, She is going to let me know when it is out. I will get a copy and post it.

This young man is an outdoors man at heart. His dad is an avid outdoors man and training the young man well. Proof is in the picture. Picture is fuzzy because it is from her cell phone. I will have more details tomorrow when she sends them.

Due to the thin skin, slight bone structure, and low body mass of the average 11-year old, my guess is that #2 buck would work splendidly on the little ragamuffins.

Oh, that's not quite what you were asking, was it?
