Great job guys.

My daughter is 15 and is very similar to what you have mentioned.  No shooting deer with fawns, very steady and conservative in shots, etc.  I have to constantly remind myself it is about her making a good shot she is comfortable, not bagging a deer.  We pass tons of opportunities, but that is part of learning.  I certainly can remember shots I should have passed on, so the learning goes both ways.

Congrats to all the young hunters. Whether you notch a tag or not, at least they got after it.


My son takes forever  :bash:  to get eveything perfect. Can't completely disagree as he does hit the deer. This year we spent 3 hours watching does, waiting for the big one to not have fawns or to offer the perfect shot angle. It was nerve racking, but again he made a great double lung shot at 125yds.  We got 39lbs of meat from her  :drool:

Spot on!  It's all about their experience, not dads :chuckle:.  I cant wait for my son to come of age.  I don't think he will have much issue shooting anything :chuckle:

Somehow dad always ends up getting wet boots  :chuckle:
Love this picture! Glad to help. It sounds like you guys had fun with some blue skies too.

Were any of you guys able to get the kids a Doe?

Went two for two yesterday.  It was an adventure, but thanks to some help on the board here, my boys both got their deer.
Congrats to them. A day in the field with your kids is supposed to be an adventure!!!
