RE: Heard a sad statistic on young hunters
20 years old here. Been bowhunting for two years deer hunting since i can remember. Good luck on a 16 year old kid getting permission to hunt private land around here. I lost a hunting spot this year b/c the farmer let a 17 year old hunt his land and the kid wound up taking all his friends out there and drinking at the quarry causing all kinds of hell. Ruined it for all of us. Although i now have gotten permission through the farmer once again this week. Proplem: too many bad apples for the farmers to weed through the good ones.
When bow season comes around every bone in my body aches to be in a deer stand. I absolutely live and breath it. Out of the three friends i have that bow hunt. Only one has been out more than twice all year. Him and I both have the itch. We have seen our fair share of deer and actually took two does 10 minutes apart and 100 yds away from one another this year. We are still waiting on the big boy to show. IT TAKES COMMITMENT!!!!
