10 YEAR OLD - FIRST DEER
As he said....."I piped him....yeah"................pretty proud of the job he did. Took him out for his first hunt ever. We were in our Double Bull ground blind, that he helped put out 2 weeks ago. I disscussed and quized him all summer when wepracticed about how to successful and be a good bowhunter. He did a awesome job.......a half hour before dark we caught some movement to our left.....2 deer comming. The deermoved inside 20 yards but were quarters too. He waited....the deer started to move so he drew his bow......there they were broadside.......finally he shoots........a perfect shot!Man was he pumped.....and so was I!Right away I told hime it was perfect shot......He says "I piped him....Yeah" my next question...why did you wait so long once the deer stopped broadside? Don't you remember dad....you told meif you can, on a broadsideshot, waitfor the deer to take a step ahead which gets the front legmore out of the way. I'm almost speechless.
Pretty cool! Here's the photo.

Another thing real quick..........I live in MN........its a cool thing the DNR did with a rule change this year. They now allow 10 and 11 year olds the hunt.......no firearms saftey certificate....they can't get it until they are 11 and can't hunt until 12. 10 and 11 years old can hunt if they are in direct supervision of an adult. They don't have to buy a license......the supervising adult must use their tag. It should get more kids out in the woods at an earlier age.
Good Luck,
