Youth Season

Recommended Posts

Overall a rough weekend for my 9 year old and myself. Did not see a deer either morning, but the afternoons were a touch better.  Saw 2 does and 2 fawns Saturday evening, but they stayed just out of comfortable shooting range for my son.  Sunday evening did not see a deer till 5 mins before legal shooting ended. Watch him come across the field from a long way, but could never get him to stop longer than 3 seconds max. He was a good buck, just wish he would have stoppped longer than he did.  Had another deer come through right after him, but yet again had a hard time getting it to stand still for my son to get a good shot.  

My son enjoyed going, just wish he could have gotten a shot off!  Now we will wait for regular gun season!

You are teaching him well.  He did not shoot outside of his comfort range, and you were conscious of the legal time.  You are doing it right.
