My sons first deer and first buck, Big thanks to KOOZ

[KDD]

Back in February my dad passed away unexpectedly. He and my seven year old son were pretty close. Dad had always promised my son he would give him his Winnie 45 Colt rifle when it was the right time. Well I guess this wasn't what my dad meant but now we have the gun. Logan(my son) has always had a fascination with lever guns. He has a couple of 22's and a 30-30 waiting on him. But somehow this gun is his dream gun. So this season he wanted to kill his first deer with Grump's gun(My dad). I made a post about a good semi mild load as I do not load for the 45 Colt. This is where Kooz comes in, he answered my post and after a few questions he said he could load just what I needed. He sent me the loads at a VERY reasonable price and to say the least they have worked very well. My son killed his very first deer opening weekend. He shot the doe absolutely perfect at 40 yds and she went about 30 yards and was done. He was so proud of himself and I was prouder than you will ever know. This past weekend we went back to the lease and he killed his first buck, another 40 yard shot and a 15 yard recovery. Kooz's load of 9.7 grains of Unique and a 260 grain flat point bullet did an awesome job on these two deer. I have to say a heart felt thanks to Steve for making this load for me. I have to admit I cry like a baby when I see the pic of Logan with dads gun. Somehow I know dad was with him with both deer. Sorry for the long post and thanks again to Kooz, I really appreciate your help.

Outstanding!!!!! What a great way for you and your son to remember your dad.

Great Post! That is honestly what it is all about! Passing our traditions and values to our future generations! The only thing greater than taking a first buck with a levergun is taking it with your granddads levergun!

Awesome story and memories, both past and recently-made.

Thanks to Kooz for helping them happen, too!

The only part I didn't get was,

Sorry for the long post...

There's nothing not to like about a post like yours, in my opinion.

Post away...!

Man, that is just awesome! Congratulate your son for me! And congratulations to you for raising your son to be a man! My father passed away 6 years ago and I cried the day my son shot a squirrel with my pop's old 22. My hat's off to KOOZ, also!

Congrats to your son, warm feelings using your dad's gun, nice way to start a young hunter.

[KirkD]

Excellent! What a super memory for your son of using his grandfather's rifle and harvesting two deer.

[kimwcook]

Congratulations! You can't ask for anything better than your son taking two animals and with an heirloom from Grandpa. Good on you for getting him outdoors and hunting. You have a right to feel good about that.

[Modoc ED]

It doesn't get any better than that.

Now that is just so great, well done to everyone and what a fine young shot we have here

I reckon Granpa is really busy up there telling this story day and night. You did real good by your son starting him out like this. Thanks to Kooz too.

[Dave]

That is awesome!

Congratulations to your youngster! That is a special hunt with a special rifle. Two deer in a season with a sentimental value of astronomic proportions!
