[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5739902, member: 20583"] I agree with both points. That's how I learned to deer hunt. My dad or big brother would take me squirrel hunting and along the way would show me trails, browsed plants, different nuts or fruits and when deer liked eating them. Eventually it was detective work finding clues about the bucks who left the scrapes & rubs, where they bed, where they eat, and how they get there. Squirrel hunting kept me mobile instead of sitting statue still for hours, and I learned about the woods as I was doing it. And squirrels are a lot like deer in the respect that a truly wild squirrel won't tolerate your presence. They run off and alarm all the others just like deer do. So a kid has to learn how to be stealthy. Pretty soon after getting busted non stop he will decide for himself that the best approach might be sitting still for awhile. If you want him to enjoy/appreciate deer hunting the way you do then you've got to put the time into teaching him the fundamentals of the woods and hunting in general. Work up to the deer. Won't be long he'll be outhunting and outworking you. Passion is strong when it grabs a kid. [/QUOTE]
