Sons valuable lesson learned (me too) and poachers. (long ready sorry)

While certainly a tough deal and not the ideal hunt in many ways I appreciate everything about the story! The family aspect, the effort involved, the tough day of hunting, the plans made to help him be successful and honest telling of a difficult story! The mistake was made, the boy became a man while dealing with all the emotion, the thousands of thoughts in his head, the knowing he had to deal with you and grandpa (just by the story I know he was heartbroken thinking he let you down) and the eventual dealing with the officer. You all did the right thing and then shared so much on here to help others!!

Thank you and your boy for letting us into the hunt with you guys. I hope you guys get to make many more years of great hunting memories together, filled with bulls and bucks and so many great times!

Your son sounds like a 100% stand up guy . He must have a great teacher. Good for you Dad and I tip my hat to your son!

Great right up and a lot of valuable lessons learned. I think the #1 mistake made was telling a kid with a cow tag he could shoot a spike from a heard that has small bulls and multi point spikes. Way to Much room for error in a situation like that for a new hunter. Even experienced hunters screw that up all the time. You can hang a cow skull on the wall just the same as a spike skull.
