When did they change the age minimum in NY to be able to hunt big game? When I was a kid, it was still 16 and that sucked!

Presume this was in PA for today's Opener.  PA regs allow younger hunters than NY and it's great to see that tradition being handed down.

Well as we walked up to Gavin deer we heard a shot from where I put our other Jr. Hunter and his dad. Just as we finished gutting Gavin deer I got a text and Colton had a 7 point down, he made a great shot for only being 10 years old.

Are those Model 788s in both pictures with the boys? They sure do look like mine.

Yes they are. Mine is topped with a 4 to 16 tasco rangefinder scope. When Gavin shot it Saturday morning he clover leafed 3 shots dead center bullseye at 100 yards off the bench. Coltins is a 788 carbine that was an old encon rifle. It shoots sweet also but minga does it bark with that short barrel.

These 2 kids are bouncing off the walls lol. I can remember being that excited when I killed my first one 40 years ago. Lol. Watching Gavin kill his first buck made my whole season!!!

My dad has a 788 carbine in .308. You are right about the bark! Accurate as hell. Will shoot 1" all day long.

Well couldn't do live from the stand because in the middle of nowhere there's no cell service.... So I am live from camp now. At 745 am we had a buck chasing 7 doe. Tipped the can a few times and did a couple soft grunts. He turned and walked right towards us but one doe was trying to take him back up the hill. Gavin was shaking but calm he said I can shoot him in the neck. That's all he could see, I hear the safety click off and an immediate shot and the buck dropped in his tracks.
Gavin did great for being 11 and making a great 75 yard shot.
There ain't enough napkins to wipe the smile off his face. Lol.
