Title: First time hunters
Post by: buglebuster on October 12, 2020, 06:39:33 PM: Who all is taking a first time hunter out this weekend? I am taking my 9 year old daughter out with her muley doe tag. We have quite a few pieces of private land to hunt, to say I’m excited is an understatement! I’ve been waiting for this day since she was born! She has really been putting in the work practicing, if her nerves don’t get the best of her, no doubt she can execute the shot. Good luck to all!

Unfortunately we are stuck hunting the westside so he won’t see as many deer. Hopefully we can find a dumb one to stick around long enough for a shot.

Gonna be a long 8 years waiting for my 7 month old daughter to be able to be hunting by my side in the field. Best of luck Bugleblaster and hope she gets on some deer!

He’s new to washington from Id so not sure how much fun he’ll have. My first time hunting with anyone period and look forward to getting coached up. 3 boys im sure will keep the stealth to a minimum 😂. We’re planning a Nov hunt without the kids too. This ones all about keeping them happy and having fun.

As in she told me she probably could not shoot one. When we see deer her eyes light up like an excited sponge bob. I am going to tread lightly with it so that maybe she does want to hunt them some day. Good luck with her doe hunt!
