dare you to break my record this year

last year i took two young hunters out to get there first deer they where not related to me. this year i get to take one out so far. his dad died in the last year. Nothing is more fun than to be sitting beside a young hunter,and watching him or her shoot there first deer. There are many young hunters who would love to go out there. so find them and teach them proper gun and hunting safety i made a small L frame and have attached ballons to it so he can see when he hits his target

I've only had the good fortune to escort a young hunter when he got his first deer one time, but there have been several others who've gotten their first deer on my land. That is worth more to me than all the deer I've shot there myself.

Good for you and keep up the good work.

I'll be escorting two new kids to hunting this year, and maybe a third. Just have to see how the timing works out on the last one.
One is from the last Hunter Ed class I was involved with.

Our youth season opens next weekend. I have my oldest, 13, whos an old pro now. He doesnt need me much anymore to hunt. Then my youngest, 7, this will be his first year. Im excited about that. And, I adopted, for hunting, my oldests best friend at school. He has never had a father, a great kid and a burning desire to hunt. So, hes taking his hunters safety course this weekend and Im taking him as well.

Next weekend should be fun. :cool:

Honestly, I could care less if I ever pull the trigger ever again on anything. Helping young ones and seeing their reactions to situations and kills is worth much more to me.

Just a side note.

I met a 20 yr old in a strip club named Buffy who wants me to take her hunting for the weekend in Canada; trouble is my wife won't let me :p

Serious now, you guys are doing a great job. It has been my experience that many parents discourage their kids even when they have an invitation. The kids are easy, you have to sell the parents first.
