Hope we make it to Vail. My kid has been having a few problems at school....... if he keeps his work up this next week, he gets to hunt. Dude, I don't ever remember us being this lazy??

Same thing I told my son, if he doesn't keep up with his school work then no hunting. So far he has been great at it. He also plays other sports and he knows that if he can't keep his grades up, no more sports as well. My 7 year old is a whole different story. UGGGG

I don't remember being that lazy either but am pretty positive it has something to do with selective memory loss.

dude I know. My dad would have beat me senseless if I was a lazy kid. You can't get away with that stuff now days. Well I sure hope Trent gets it together. He could be missing a really great time. It was the funniest hunt I have been on with dakota

And just for clarification. The vail tree farm is part of the skookumchuck unit correct? Wanted to triple check before I head out there on the 5th.

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

Yes.  Pass required I believe not sure on when the pass is for but I know they started that this year.

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

Sorry I just read the post above about youth.  Yes your right about the unit.

One last question. As for as entry into Vail with the Youth hunters, My brother and two close friends want to ride along in my rig to watch my son get his first deer hopefully. Is there a limit to the amount of people you can bring in with you???

Just a thought.

Thanks

its completly ok brianb231, my best friend my cousin and my nephew all came along when my son had his tag, make sure you have a shotgun in the truck, you will get plenty of shots at grouse as well. its a fun hunt, there are plenty of places to get out and walk, the only problem is they dont gate any of the roads so you can have rigs drive right by you to. timber huntn up there isnt neccessary either.

My kid asked his mom last night if she wanted to go, soo I might have an extra too. I got my fingers crossed she might find something else to do.

oh man that would be cool if mama went with you maybe you would have a new huntn partner, then you can get away with buying hutnn stuff more often  maybe trent wants his mama there to see him whack his first critter or to keep you from thumpn him upside the head when he misses a boone and crocket buck  do to the OH SHEET FACTOR

Well, we had an amazing day on Sat with my son in the Vail Tree Farm. We only saw about 12 does the entire day. He has had his scope on a doe twice. The firs,t we were waiting for him to pull the trigger but she moved on him. I was proud that he held up and just didn't go ahead and shoot. The second opportunity the deer was at about 220 yards but I fealt that was a little too far for him to shoot even though he was on her so I called him off. Then in the afternoon we had a nice doe at 60 yards and he got it done. I was so excited and so proud of him. My wife and brother were with us as well and it was a special moment for all. My son even reached up and thanked my Dad, who I know was looking down very proud of his grandson as was I.  It may have only been a doe, but it may as well have been a 420 class Bull Elk for all I was concerned. Love this kid. My daughter is up next weekend but hers will be a harder task in the nile area with everyone else.
