I strongly recommend a 458 magnum, 500 grain bullet, will stop everything in its tracks!
Kidding!
My son, very little guy started taking deer at 8 yo got him a 243, Remington 700 youth at Walmart, put a Bushnell elite 4200 40mm 3x9 sweet set up, little pricey but will last a long time, he loves it. Now he is 11 yo shoots some fine groups. I do reload and have tamed loads down, shooting 80 gr ballistic tip, very little recoil. That is key for kids.
We headed to OK next week to put the smack down on some deer and he is pumped!!!
