  1. Fishing for bream is a great way to learn your technique and they'll usually hit about any kind of fly. Just keep practicing and don't get frustrated. Another good way to learn to cast well is put a paper plate out in the yard and practice throwing to and increasing your distance. Good luck.

    Welcome colt. Hope you enjoy the site
  9. I was 16 for my first deer and on my first trip.
  10. I've always wanted a german sheppard. One of these days hopefully I'll have one.
  11. A shame to see one go like that!
  12. I've got 3 pair of rockies, 800 grams,1200 and 2000's. I had the 2000 for 4 yrs and wore em once in WV. I bought my wife a set of those insulated boot covers and she loves em!
  13. Looks about right to me. It take an awful big set of antlers to make the book.
  14. Sorry everyone but no luck in W.V. I still have over a month here in N.C. though so I should at least tag a doe.
  15. Thanks everyone and yes I'm as proud as if it were my son! I don't know who was more thrilled, him or me!
  16. Well this years goal ended on opening day. My grandson got his first deer. We started working on his stand a few months ago. I bought a two man ladder stand that we put up and cut out some good shooting lanes on our lease. His other grandpa got him a single shot .243 and we took it a few weeks ago and shot so he could get used to it. Then last week we took the NC hunters safety course so we were ready. We got i a stand yesterday about 6 AM and hadn't seen anything but a few squirrells. About 9:15 he tapped me on the leg and said it's a spike. The way it came in I couldn't see it. The whole time he kept whispering what was going on, telling me what it was doing. I asked him if he could see the shoulder and he said he could see the whole deer but there was some small trees in his shot line and he wanted to wait for a good shot. This went on for about 10-15 minutes and it finally stepped into the clear and one shot and it was down! I never seen the deer the whole time until right before he shot. I was so proud of him you have no idea! Not bad for an 11 year old. Anyways, enough bragging, I'll get some pics posted after while! Take your kids hunting because you don't know what your missing!!!
