well, I had a good weekend with my 15 year old nephew. I got him in a stand Friday evening about 4:30. He got to see several does and two bucks before dark but could get no shots on anything. Sat. morning he saw several bucks but again no shots. Saturday evening I put him in one of my stand knowing there are does underitevery evening. Well they can and he had several shots but could not draw his bow (lesson learned: shoot something you can draw anytime). All in all we had a good time even if he did not get his first kill. It will come he just needs to keep trying and sit still.

that sounde like me whenI started bowhunting--only I was10 years older--My stomach was growling so much I'm shore the buck thoughtI was grunting!!! And pull the bow back it must have been set at 150 lbs!!! I couldn't budge it!!! But way to go it will come then you want be able to sneak off without him!!!

sounds like he had fun

hunting is not just gettin a deer , thetime will come , but the time you get to spend with each other
glad to see thesport being passed on , good luck and hunt safe
