Was wondering about my son
 

My son wants to be in the contest. He doesn't post on here.That ismy fault as I don't let him go intoforums or chats rooms without my supervision. Had a bad experience with my oldest daughter withchatrooms and I am more learynow.He does reads the posts with me and got a kick out of following the contest last year.

He is a good shot with bow and can get the deed done. He is only 14 but knows more about deer then I did at 20. I'm thinking it was his teacher!! [8D] :D



I know there are a lot of guys that think you should have a lot of posts on here to play and the reason I ask. I've been reading this forum for years and have very few post. Last year's contest actually gotme to post more. Course that might be good or bad depending on who is reading it.

Anyways, I let you guys decide. It won't be the end of the world for us ifmost think it isn't right and there will be no hard feeling from us.

Those 14 year olds will surprise ya. Iused to huntwith one that showed more discipline and savy than most men who toted a bow around for years. He was like a sponge, every tip you gave him he remembered and used. He regularly filled his tags before me. The biggest challenge for him was being able to get to the woods. If I didn't take him he couldn't go.

It isn't my call but if it was I would say, let the boy play!!! He would be welcome on my team for sure.

TJF,
I have been a fellow member of this forum with you for a while now.... I say get the kid his own name on here let him make a few posts about his FINE deer he got, and LET EM PLAY!

i think the only rule should be that you have a membership to this site... i hate it when people say oh and my friend (lets just say) DAVE wants to be in this contest, although he isnt a member.... blah blah blah...

Besides he takes real nice pictures with deer so thaths enough in my book!

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

I say register him as a user and he will be allowed in.

The only thing required would be that he checks in with his team from time to time so that they don't write him off as a no show.

So I say sign the boy up!!

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

Ok, 14yr olds that kill deer like that...NO WAY should he be allowed in!!! ;););)[8D]

Just kidding, tell him congrats on a fine deer!

I agree with IBM...sign him up, and let him play! But yes, make sure he's not a no-show. Heck, with deer like that....I hope he makes it on my team:D

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

He could be on my team anytime!
I say sign him up..Who knows he just might take the biggest buck of all;)

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

I've got to agree with everyone else, the kid deserves to participate!

Sign him up with an account, even if he only uses it during the contest every year, it's worth signing him up for it. Since you two check the boards together, you're there to supervise whil he posts here.

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

Dittos to the above suggestions.

Get him a user name and let him play.... I'd have him on my team as well.

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

I agree as well. Anything that makes a kid more interested in getting out there to hunt is OK in my book, let him in. If I were you I would just sign him up so he has a screen name that we can track. He doesn't have to post unless you're there. Just keep the password private and that way when he gets one you can log in for him and let him tell us the story of how he got it.;)

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

I say let him register and enter. If you don't want to let him browse then forums then that's no problem just let him come back and enter his deer if he kills one.

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

I agree, we need a member username at least......you can always set the law that he cannot post unless your sitting with him, it's not hard to check his posting history.....and good luck to him, if that's a bowkill, he can be on my team as well..

Good luck to all this season.

How benevolent of you Rob.........................:eek::D

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

That's quite the $5 word coming from your neck of the woods....great to have you with us again this year.....

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

lmao........I think I read it somewhere else in the forum:D

Thank you and maybe I will kill something worth contributing this year....

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

Thanks for the replies. No problem on him not being a no show. He really got a kick out of following the contest last year. It not that I don't let him surf the net, I just haven't let him post without my consent. Other then veiwing the hunting forums I go to, he doesn't get into chatrooms like my daughter did. Thank God!!!

Anyways, he is going to join the board and will go by Dagger if it isn't already used. I'll let him explain his name choice and say hi.

Thanks again

Tim

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

I like to say welcome to Dagger.He will be a great contribution to any team.And hopefully he will be on my team.:)
I do understand your consern dad about the chats and the internet in general but I'll assure you this is a safe site,clean and moderated everyday to clean up the garbage.
My young guy's name is Hunter and turning 10 on the 27th this month,he dont surf the net without my or wifes presence.But I will assure you he is a" hidden" member on the team,as he will be out with me at least once a week in the early season.
Good luck to you and your son:)-----and let the games begin

RE: Was wondering about my son
 

I envy your rules in regard to chat rooms and forums for minors. It's a scary thing with way too many wackos out there. I look forward to having your son join the contest this year.

RE: Was wondering about my son

Lemme' guess...DAGGER is a buck your son's got nicknamed and patterned?????????? :D:D:D, anyway have a good one, I can't wait 'till my boys are old enough to bowhunt!

Hi to everyone. Thanks for accepting me as part of this forum. I had to use dagger buck 2 because someone was already using dagger and my dad messed up while trying to log me in as dagger buck.

On last Thursday, my dad and I saw dagger feeding in a soybean field. My dad was droolingoverthe wide 5x5 feeding near him.
