discouraged youth squirrel hunter!!! please help!!!
well, last week was my son's first hunt ever when the PGC had an early squirrel hunt for kids 12-16 years-old. he got to see one squirrel all day long!! this week squirrel season started for everyone in PA and once again we headed out to the woods. we didn't see ONE SQUIRREL!!!! i tried several different spots and i've never had trouble finding squirrels in the past. i don't know what's going on this year with the squirrel population but the boy is getting discouraged and i must admit a small part of me is too. i tried to explain that the windy weather conditions has a lot to do with it but he's not really enjoying this too awful much. i'm affraid that if i take him out again and don't see anything, he will HATE hunting for good!!! i'm really worried about that!!! a youth deer season starts this thursday, should i wait till then to take him back in the woods???
