    Wyatt's doe


    [IMG][/IMG]

    This is my son Wyatt's second whitetail. He got a small buck last year with a Model 11 youth in 7mm-08. He is left handed so this year we found him a nice Lefty Model 11 in 7mm-08 with a 22" barrel and replaced the stock with a Boyds in his length of pull. We worked up some loads and settled on 120gr Sierra Pro Hunter and 37.5gr of H4895 at 2765fps. This combo was a very accurate mild recoiling round. Wyatt turned 10 a few days ago.

    Awesome for Wyatt!

    Mom and Dad deserve kudos for keeping the hunting tradition alive. Even more, they showed respect and consideration for their son by developing a load that is both mild in recoil and very effective on game!

    Keep up the good work!

    Great Job! My hunting buddy used a 243 yesterday afternoon for his first deer.
