Post by: jdb on October 13, 2009, 07:26:52 AM: taken both my boys out with my dad and a good friend of the family, this will be the first year the boys dont have doe tags so its bucks only unless we find our way to a whitey area. good luck to all the young hunters.

Post by: gottatree on October 13, 2009, 07:53:51 AM: This year it will be just me and my 9 year old son for his first hunt. He passed his hunter's ed class in June. The kid is addicted to hunting he has been going with me since he was three and he has been waiting for this day for a long time. Well maybe I have to.

Post by: bowpredator on October 13, 2009, 08:04:12 AM: Took my son out this past weekend up to the vail area, he drew a skookumchuck any deer tag which opened on the 10th. He held off all morning but decided to take a doe in the evening. It was his first deer and he made a perfect 100yd shot and she only went 50yrds. On sat out of the 60 permits, 38 kids went through the vail gate and 22 shot deer.

Title: Re: Who's taking the kiddies out?
Post by: HUNT on October 13, 2009, 08:17:15 AM: Taking out my 9 year old and his best friend. My 9 year old shot a 3 pt last year after a 300 yards stalk, the last 100 yards belly crawling. This is his best friends first year hunting. His parents don't hunt but he is really excited about it. Making sure he has a good time and make him a hunter for life.

My 14 year old is going out with his best friend opening weekend. He has shot bucks 4 years running. Second weekend will be with us if he isn't successful.

Post by: couesbitten on October 13, 2009, 09:18:27 AM: I just got home this morning from a 12 hour shift, and do not have to be back to work until Nov. 3. I'm not hunting the rifle season,so I will be trying to get my son on another good buck this year. I'm feeling pretty good about our chances. If we get done early, or on the days that my son is actually in school, I've got a couple of friends who I wouldn't mind helping out.

Post by: Buckmark on October 13, 2009, 09:52:03 AM: I will have my 12yo nephew along for opening weekend, his first year hunting.
Got a few grouse under his belt in sept and now try for a deer.
I will be at my property in the NE section between tonasket and republic, anyone hunting with kids that needs help pm me and i'll try to help, or you can just stop by and say hi.
If you have a doe permit for 204 for youth i might be able to help with some access for that.

Title: Re: Who's taking the kiddies out?
Post by: JackOfAllTrades on October 13, 2009, 11:01:30 AM: A few years ago when a nephew was just 16, he'd gone opening weekend with his dad and come home skunked. I was skunked on my trip. So, mid week the nephew and I were discussing hunting... Money was a little tight for gas and such so.. His dad let me take his fuel miser truck and his son hunting the next weekend. His dad had to work.

One of the biggest pleasures of my life was standing next to my nephew when he plugged a nice Muley buck off-hand for his first deer. He's since taken more deer and one bear on his own.

My boys first year actually carrying and hunting was last year and his grandma (my mom) had a heart attack and stroke and ended the hunt on the second day. She's doing good now and hopefully we wont have that again. Would make my hunt for the boys to connect.

Post by: Alchase on October 15, 2009, 12:32:17 PM: This will be the first year neither of my boys will be able to make it deer hunting camp in over 10 years. My 18 year old has a new job, and my 15 year old has to have his grades above a "C" before he can take a week off of school, and that is not going to happen this year, lol.

Enjoy it while you can everyone. There will come a day that they will not be able to hunt with you and you will feel like a huge part of deer camp is missing.

Ain't that the truth. I hope to get at least two more years out of my youngest. My oldest lives in CO and my 20 year old lives 6 miles away but, doesn't speak to me much. The youngest is already talking about joining the Air Force in two years so there will be a big hole in my hunting heart soon! I may have to start taking out young kids who either don't have a father or kids who's families don't hunt.

Post by: runningboard on October 15, 2009, 07:04:07 PM: thought I would add a couple of shots from last years stand,
my now 13 year-old girl with a jawbreaker in her mouth

and my now 10 year-old boy playing with the grass cause he's getting bored
(https://hunting-washington.com/cpg/albums/userpics/10516/100_0005%7E0.JPG)
my girl got a shot at a nice 4x4 whitetail after these shots were taken but since her brother was making too much noise the does had us pegged and the buck was not coming any closer, so she had a long 240 yard shot. 240 is not long for her anymore after some practice.
