Good grief, how irresponsible. Not even the subject of putting a weapon in a child'shands, but to choose a .243?!?! For crying out loud, man, since the invention of the .300 WinMag and the .338 Lapua and such, no self respecting hunter would dare hunt with anything less. Furthermore, it is the continueing evolution of the deer that they are now almost universally bulletproof to anything short of armor piercing depleted uranium ammunition!!!
Nice work on that li'l devil buck. I have one of those with a Euro mount, coincidentally taken with a .243! Keep telling him how good that deer tastes over the coming winter and that poor kid will pert' near bust with pride! Good work, Gramps!
