No gun hunting for me next year...

[Czabs]

Just doesn't get me jacked like It used to when I was 12. Next year I'm taking out a newb or a youngster and I'm gonna film it. I'm pretty excited to do this next yr, The look/reaction of someone shooting their first deer is priceless. Can't wait!

That sounds sweet. I love it when I'm able to get other guys out into the woods with me. I brought a friend bow hunting in gun season last weekend and was more pumped when he texted me about almost getting a shot at a six pointer than when a little 8 pointer came into view at my own stand.

Its what you make of it. If taking a kid will make your day, great.

Having an encounter with a big buck and a bow is second to none. However, there are some pretty remote properties here that I would see almost never without being able to lighten my load a little. 30lbs of gear really is not that much but archery gear is just awkward to pack and have it be comfortable. Ill take a 50lb well packed bag over a 30# sack of stand and everything else a million times over.

Some of these hills here are just ROUGH. I really need to get a little video put together so you all can see it in its glory.

You will likely make a huge impact on that person...

I really like the idea of taking youngsters out too. I took a kid out turkey hunting for his first time and seeing his face when he heard a close gobble made the hunt for me.

Do you guys know of any gun hunting programs where I could take a kid out hunting?

Cool.

yep thats how it works... for example...

the best turkey hunt ive ever had was when my 8 year old son MISSED a giant long beard at 25 steps this past spring.

imagine that....

Good idea. Gun season is an awesome opportunity to get a new hunter involved

a great organization if any of you are wanting to take a kid out hunting who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity, sheck it out. great program, and we usually put together a few learn-to-hunt opportunities throughout the year, like our upcoming deer hunt for 14 kids at the Mackenzie Center near poynette.
