I completely agree with Fran.

The boy is 16. When I was 16 the ONLY thing that kept me close to my father was hunting..... In two years he will likely be off to college and chasing the "dears" will become even more intense......

I'd look at it as maybe one last chance to really make some memories together that will be talked about for years to come..... And that my friend is much, much more important than our personal views on what may or may not be fair chase, ethical hunting.
