That's awesome!! That's what it's all aboutView attachment 167257View attachment 167258
My boys here almost 6 and almost 4, each killed their first deer this year. Bog pod, cross bow and ground blind. We shot 5-6 times but came away with 2 deer. They were thrilled!!
My son was first starting out when he went on his first deer hunt. I had built a custom TC encode in 300 whisper with a 16 inch barrel and shortened the stock to 12 inches for him. It fit him just fine.Probably going to be getting a stand/holder for my grand daughter later this year. She's 5, and asking to go now and then, and my daughters 243 is still kinda big for her to hold. Planning on something like a Caldwell Dead Shot Field pod.
Thats always been my complaint with the juvenile hunt. All too often its been a an extra tag for ol Joe with no other hobby than deer hunting. Parents need to remember they can take their kids hunting any week that deer season is openApparently there is no minimum age. I saw a kid that didn't come up much past my knee and his dad at a store a few years ago with a deer on youth hunt weekend. The boy shot it with his Dad's 30.06. Heck of an accomplishment for such a small lad. The Dad was bragging that the boy had killed his first deer. Apparently my face gave away my thoughts because the Dad admitted that he held the gun and aimed it while the kid reached over and pulled the trigger. What a way to "kill your first deer".
Age is 6 no lic just sscardMy daughters aren't quite old enough for the hunter safety class yet(even though they both are licensed for life) but my question is can they shoot one and check it in or do I have to check it in for them? Sorry if it's a dumb question but I've got a seven year old dying to smoke one lol
If she closed her eyes and turned her head, how in the wild world of sports did she walk out with a hunter safety certificate?The stories I could tell about the extra tags. Like the 50 pound 10 year old that killed a deer with a 7mm mag. The girl that killed a deer at 300 yards with a 30-06, but a week earlier she turned her head and shut her eyes at the hunter safety shoot. Another girl showed up at the checking station with pink sweats and clean white tennis shoes to check out "her" deer on an either sex hunt.
Poacher, period.Helping to hold and holding the gun, aiming, and telling the kid to reach over and pull the trigger are two different things. This guy clearly wanted to start his season a week early.
