your fatherinlaws seasion was cut down BY his own meens.You do not have to KILL some thing to get to hunt. Did he even try to get the xbow permit? Most older guys are TO prowed to even try to get the permit.

My wife started out shooting 28 # took her 2 years to get to hunt.BUT she hunted with me anyway allmost every trip.When she could shoot the 45#s she had allredy learned a very big amount about bow hunting. So the TIME SPENT IN THE WOODS WITHOUT A BOW HELPED A TON. Now 14 years latter my wife shoots 55#s and has killed an elk with her bow.

My sone is 4 years old I teach him every day about some thing in the outdoors.I do not beleave for 1 sec if he cant kill an elk befor he is stroung enough to BOW hunt he will ever stop LOVEING the out doors.

I do not get it, if all people worie about is killing a deer GO TO A DANG FARM. Bow hunting is way more than just geting to KILL a deer. All the xbow guys are saying the boy can hunt!!!!! THIS IS CRAP MY BOY IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND HE HUNTS WITH ME VERY CHANCE I CAN GO.My son at 4 has seen 3 elk killed so far in his life,and every one was bow shot :}
