Son's first whitetail

[4pointer91]

My 13 yr old son was very happy last weekend after shooting his first whitetail. I drove him into a newly logged area and after reaching the crest of a skidder hill in my truck he told me to stop, got out and glassed the deer. He quickly said it's a buck (2-point he thought), raised his 7mm-08 rifle and shot. After climbing over the log debris and climbing the hill where the buck had fallen my son found out it was a 4-point (possibly a 5x4).

We cleaned the deer and dragged it down the hill where I winched it the rest of the way over the log brush pile with the help of a couple friends nearby. This occurred at 1pm in the afternoon, we continued hunting the area till dark and then headed home. Great day of hunting!

thats awesome but where are the pictures?

[4pointer91]

Sorry, I had accidentally deleted the picture last night when I was trying to upload a larger version of the same picture. I am having problems with posting full size pictures on this forum, others have full size pictures that are oviously larger than 87kB in size ...how is this done? Posting a link to photobucket doesn't seem like the best choice and I have tried several methods of saving to the forum and copy/pasting. A bit frustrating.
