i' m going to be 17 on monday and although a girl, i went through the same thing... when hormones started bubbling over i couldn' t sit still to save my life... badshotbob basically hit it on the head about pressure especially if his peers don' t hunt... plus you gotta make yourself look good to the opposite sex... it took me a while to learn how to come home from 5 hours of hunting in rain/ snow/ heat what have you and still look presentable to go into town and get a drink... plus a lot of girls look down on hunting and see it as something only a big hulking baffoon would do and they want guys to clean up... he' ll get over it once he learns to control things... i know i did and many of my guy friends
