Its almost time

As we all know it is almost time to go hunt for deer. Now you hunters that have children that are grown , or the hunters that are waiting for a family to get old enough. Don't wait go out and find a young hunter. My son hunts on his own now and we still go together hunting. But i have found a 12 year old boy who's dad is not around and his mom gave me permission to take him hunting, he has never shot a deer. So i hope this will be his first year taggin out. Dont wait share the joy of hunting with someone else

Good for you. I do the same with the young ones...one, whose dad passed just the year before he was old enough...his dad couldn't wait for him to turn 12...Warning though...it is a HUGE responsibility...and you are in charge...stay tight with them like in their pocket so you can control the situation and teach the correct way of doing things. (These times are when you don't even bother to take your gun with you) Including good sportsmanship. Hunter ethics. All there is to see while out there like the sunrises etc. I do know of one young fellows first time out with a 'mentor' and the guy had the kid shoot a deer within the 150 yds of a house and they both got busted.....It took some doing but he is on the right track now and enjoys his days afield. I also had to straighten out a kid when his grandfather sat him not 20 yards from me on a ridge after I was already sitting there over an hr....Because he was a kid, I let him have the spot but reminded both it was not being a good sportsman by moving in on someone else.....so I moved down the ridge a few hundred yards and ended up with an 8 pt.......Teach them the right way! Safety Safety Safety first.

Thats how I got started in hunting. A fella from my town took me hunting as Dad was done with guns after WWII and so I had been left on my own.
