I think it was a good thing to take the young fellow out hunting. Although you didn't get one doesn't mean all was lost. Young hunters have to learn one way or another. I took my son on a deer hunt with me and the first year was terrible. He kept jumping on fallen trees and the like making more noise than a heard of elephants. I kept trying to get him to stop all that racket but no cigar.. 2 years ago on his last youth hunt he shot his first deer.. So although it can be quite frustrating but they can learn from thier mistakes. It takes some time out there for them to understand though.. Just maybe some place along the line this trip you had your young friend with you he will learn something from it all..
