    My 12 year old son's first year of real hunting, we spent 8 days in Kentucky and had a lot of fun. Like most kids he started out very impatient and had a hard time being quiet, moving quietly and standing still. We worked on stalking, being quiet and using cover, by now you can tell I am not a tree stand hunter. He had several opportunities to take shots but didn't, finally after 6 days in the woods he got within 25 yards of this doe in heavy timber and dropped her with one shot to the neck with his Remington 788 7mm-08. I had so much fun watching him I didn't care if I shot anything myself.

    Thank you. He was very happy to have finished the job. He worked hard the whole week, he learned something new every day we were in the field.
