What would you do?
I know I have a decent buck on my property.Patterned and ready to take down. but I am also taking my nephew out this youth season for his first hunt. What would you do? I forgot to mention he is 7 years old.

I said let him have the buck, this would really spark the interest of him. Im currently fighting to keep my focus on hunting but with no deer taken so far it gets harder. I think the look on his face when he smokes that buck will be worth it.

I'd ask myself.....CAN he kill it?
If you think you can get him in there, clean, and either:
1. give him a LEGITIMATE opportunity to take this deer.......I'd take him in.
2. If you think your intrusion wouldn't mess it up, for YOU, then I'd take him in there.
If I thought he wasn't capable of going in there clean and getting the job done.....I honestly wouldn't risk it.
You asked.

I guess if I had a chance with the bow to bag the big guy before the youth hunt then I would. If you see the big one with your nephew let him shoot him. Take the opoutunity that presents itself. They are few and far between. Let the young guy shoot what he wants and take a ton of pictures. Congradulate him and make him want to come back next year. That's what counts.
Good luck to both of you guys.

Now that I thought about, I have a question. Did he help scout and pattern this deer at all? Because he needs to know that hunting will not be that easy ( being put on the deer with no work). He would be into hunting for a year then realize it was a fluke or sumthing and then never hunt again.

If you have extra doe permits take the first one that strays inside your shooting zone. Get that first deer out of your system.
Good luck this fall

He has helped me check the trail cams and i am constantly showing him different pics of deer asking where to place his shot. at 7 its still alittle hard to gethim o understand some of the stuff.
I'mjust afraid that if he takes this one that he will begin to get disappointed if he doesn't kill another one the next year or the year after that is just as big.
