you want to take your son on his first hunt to a preserve to take his first deer(or whatever) almost gaurented? i dont want to be rude or anything but the way i see it its nice for the kid and all but i think that it would get his hopes up to kill a big buck the first time he goes out all the time and when your hunting fair chase no ranches or anything it usually doesnt go like that all the time...i mean its a great idea and all but i think it would kinda make the kid not like hunting so much and not respect the trophy he may take there as much as he did if it was harder and worked for....to me hunting a 1500 acre preserve is far from hard...and when he goes out on a real hunt and not get anything he may not like that..just something to think about..i know i worked for my first deer...last day of the season..and even though its "only" a doe its my first deer and i feel i earned it and have great respect for that animal...it would be a great idea after he hunts fair chase for a while and sees how it really is or maybe he wont care and still not care if he goes out later fair chase and gets nothing..i think id be dissappointed to say the least after taking a nice 10pt wall hanger as my first...its kinda hard to explain..im not trying to be rude or anything i think its a great idea and everything...maybe you should wait though..or maybe he wont ever hunt fair chase i duno.....just something to think about..hope you dont take it the wrong way i love the idea...
