My son wrote this in school
 

My son wrote this in school for a grade he just turned 14

The last hunt
In the cold of the new fallen snow
Begins a brand new day
In the warmth of the sunlights glow
I sit and wait for my prey.

The air is crisp and cold
The last hunt of the year
My aim is true and bold
At last i harvest a deer.

I found it in the trash my wife said he didnt like it.
The teachers he has are supportive of him and his hunting he has taken 2 deer with a gun he is after one with a bow

Personally, I think it's good. Give him my best!

I'm no poet, but that sounds really good to me. If your son didn't like it, you should be happy that he is striving for the stars. I'm surprised that a kid with that level of determination has only killed 2 deer. Then again, back in the late 80's it took me forever to kill deer even though I was super determined at 19 and just starting to deer hunt.

Shake your son's hand for me and tell him he did a great job.

I think he did a good job.

That's one of those pull it outta the trash and give it to him 10 yrs down the line.

He'll be grateful.

I did save it the wife talked him into turning it in last nite he needed 6 and he was short.
The only reasen he has only taken 2 deer is he has only been hunting or 2 years mich just started letting a 12 year old hunt deer with a gun.
He made it just under the wire the law was 12 year old could hunt deer with a bow but had to wait till 14 to hunt deer with a gun.
My oldest son started at 14 becouse he had no desire to bow hunt.
I do think the earlyer you can let them hunt the better the drive to hunt in my younger son is unreal compared to the older one.
I wish i could have let my older son gun hunt for deer at 12 just to compare.

that's a fine rhyme for a young fella!

shows he's got his priorities set.

congrats on raisin em right.

It doesn't make any difference. My brothers and I all started hunting at the same time, and I was the oldest. So, the others started hunting at a younger age. I am the only one with the hunting drive 30+ years later. The others really don't care for it. They don't care too much for shooting either. Meanwhile, I dream of both.

Kind of the same thing on this end = with me being the only child, Dad serving in WWII with a silver star and not wanting to kill anything. Our rural mail carrier took me under his wing and I learned woodmanship and hunting. Anyway enough of this rambling with my point being encourage any thing that envolves the outdoors to your kids. He did a very fine job and it sounds like it came from the heart.
