I`m a happy dad!!
My 9yr old son killed his first deer sat.10-16-04.We were sitting together in a two man latter stand opening day of gun season. And it is ether sex . At 9.30am a big doe walks by at around 40yrds. He only had a small opening to shoot through . I told him when she got to that opening that i would make a grunting sound with my voice and when she stops. It`s all up to you?
When i grunted she stoped just like thought she would.He took aim and shot. She jump stright up in the air and kicked all four legs then turned and ran. But i new she was hit hard. LOL-he started shaking all over
we waited about 15min then trailed it out to where she fell. I told him that i had dreamed of this day from the day he was born
he turned and looked at me then gave me a big hug I am strickly a bowhunter now. But i would not have changed anything for that day. RTA47

And another hunter is born
Congrats to you and your son. That's a moment I'm waiting for. In another 8 or 9 years my little guy will be ready for the woods. Have you tried to get him into archery? Bow hunting may not be a great first step but it dosn't hurt to get him shooting at a young age.
