VaJeff Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Took my son for his first ever bow hunt . He is 13 and been going w/me since he was 5 . Well as it turned out , he had more action than i . A gang of turkeys came out 15 yrds. in front of him but he decided not to take one and later a hawk landed on a limb 3 ft. from him . All I had was one lone tree rat all day. Oh well, only the first day, many more to come. good luck to all , jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't all be about shooting a deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger-Hunter Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Sometimes better that it happen that way. New hunters that happen to get "lucky" on their first few tries think its easy. I guess it is a state of mind. I have a cousin that got a deer with a bow his second year and thought he was Fred Bear cause of it. Later he said he wanted to go Bear hunting. (he's from Indiana). I said, "Why do you want to go bear hunting?" He said, "Cause I already got a deer, now I want to get something that's hard to hunt." Great attitude to have, but man, it took be a few years to get a deer with a bow and then it has been everything but easy since. You have to get those buggers within 30 yards and a clear shot. They can't see or hear you pull your bow back, then you have to hit them right. And after all that, you have to find them. It ain't easy.
