Good luck with that, My ex girlfriend wanted to go hunting and I happend to shoot an big eleven pointer. She watched everything and started crying. It was all down hill from there. I should have know when her parents adopted every animal in the county that she was an animal lover. I still didn't understand why she wanted to go. Maybe she was being open minded.

That's the Fun part of hunting to me, has been for a few years. I'm taking a guy Mule Deer hunting to NE. with me this fall that has never killed a Deer with a bow.

Right now we are working on shooting basics. It should be a Fun trip!:D

My kids are getting older and it's hard to compete with the boys.I try to run off all the city boys though.:DIt makes it a extra challenge to keep them in it but I'll be up for it.

Me and my 15 year old brother tried really hard to get my 12 year old brother a shot at a deer last year. He ended up getting one during the late gun season, and missed a wide 4 point. Hes hooked though :D

Absolutely great idea! I took a young fella along on a turkey hunt and he got his first gobbler. It turned out to be a double bearded bird with good spurs and weighed 23.5 lbs so he is getting it mounted. I have a great time taking folks turkey hunting each spring. I had my fiance in the tree with me many days this past fall bowhunting and she shot her first deer, ended up being a nice buck with my T/C muzzleloader. I hope to get her one with a bow this fall! Great post!

Plan on taking my 7yr old cousin out with me, he is turning into quite the outdoorsman and I can't wait for the first time he sees a deer from a stand....problem is that he is a talker...lol...I really can't wait
