The way it ought to be....
20/07/12 11:05 AM

Dad and I finally got to take my ten year old son hunting together on a recent trip to New Zealand.

I travelled with my wife and our son down under for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. While there Dad jacked up a good place for Nathan to hunt red deer and hopefully get a stag.

I started Nathan hunting with me at about four years old and he killed his first deer at seven. In fact, he got two bucks that year. He now has five whitetails for five rounds.

We got into quite a few deer, and Nathan had to make a quick shot, but one bullet through the liver had the stag dead inside 40 yards. Dad was very impressed with his shooting.

He used Dad's Anschutz .222, so it takes a precise shot. In fact, Dad said he can have it when he gets too old to hunt any more. I don't know when that'll be, he's almost 77, and last year dropped a Fallow on the spot at 297 metres with that rifle. He's not showing any signs of giving up yet.

The stag wasn't a big one, but it's a real trophy to us.

And if we needed some more firepower, my brother had the tool....

A huge Thanks goes out to our friend Roger Gullery, our host on this hunt.
