Rivers first deer hunt

[Ladys man]

Took my son out on his first deer hunt this afternoon, I'm waiting until he's 8 to put him through hunters safety (6 now) but he must of been my good luck charm. About 4 I told him we need to start being quiet deer are getting ready to start moving, 4:10 I caught a doe trying to slip through the bottom infront of us. I found a spot I wanted to shoot, but in that time trying to make sure he could see and was holding his ears I completely blew the shot. I rushed it and new instantly I missed. Could see her walking away all while trying to reload the single shot and never got a follow up.
I told him that's why they call it hunting and not killing.
He wants to go back again tomorrow.

Nothing like time shared with your child!

Your going to have yourself a permanent hunting buddy now! That is what it is all about, passing on the hunting tradition to your kids!

Good info, my original plan was 10, or until I felt maturity level was there, but guess I was ready to get him in the woods lol
Thanks

I understand I have taken all of mine to sit in ground blinds at 6. My youngest will get to go next year and she is already excited. One of the reasons they make you wait until 9 is they have to take the written test by them self.

They will provide someone to read the test questions to the child if necessary. I have been a instructor for close to 10 years now.

Good times whether you kill a deer or not.

I knew at the shot it was the deer I bumped still hunting. It stopped for me but I was doing a Texas heart shot!
