First "BIG GAME"

[Wglwrm]

This weekend was one of my proudest moments as a father and a hunter. My son, who has been so essential in my fight with ptsd, tagged his first "big game." In Arizona javelina are considered big game, although I think my dog is bigger. Anyway, other than dove, quail and rabbit this was his first filled big tag. He used a muzzleloader and dropped his pig at 76 yards, right in its tracks.

The look on his face was priceless. The excitement he had will never be forgotten! I am truly blessed to have such a forgiving, understanding and loving son!

Outstanding!!! That look on his face says it all. Good job dad! I’ve been hunting since I was 5 but my dad never had any interest in the outdoors. I wish I could have experienced hunts with him. Good on you for getting your son outside.

Awesome stuff! With a muzz to boot. I'll bet he's hooked for life now.

Funny you say that... when we were out zeroing his scope, he didn't like shooting the muzzleloader. But yes now he is hooked.
