I' m 53, son Joe is 17. He has about 5 buddies who bow & gun hunt for whitetails. At least in our locale the young men seem to be willing to take up a proud tradition. I think it has a great deal to do with parental encouragement. I know our hunts together are super quality time. What a splendid affair it is to see the pure enjoyment on my sons face when he walks over to me and tells me he stuck another.
