was tonight. Let me start by saying I have a 11yr old son who stands 5'5" tall and wieghs 170lbs. He isn't allowed to hunt here in NY for deer with a bow untill he turns 14. He's been dying to go so tonight I let him sit in my wife's ladder stand (Bowless). I was in my stand about 75 yards away. After sitting in my stand for 30 mins I get a text message from him on my cell phone. it says "I SEE A BUCK". I text him back and try to get info but get nothing,lol. A few minute later he texts me with "3 DOES". Now I'm laughing b/c I got a bow with me and ain't seeing a thing. 5:00 and another text. This one says " A BIG BUCK just crossed 10 yards in front". I meet my son at my truck and asked him how it went. Listening to him talk about him loosing his breath and shaking when the deer were near was awesome. I was so happy to have my son understand why we do this. He is now hooked. I told him 3 yrs to go and he'll see how it is to have all those feelings and then try to shoot that deer. Granted I didn't see a thing but hearing my son talk about what he was seeing and feeling made this the best time I've had in the field ever.
