So to kick the year off right, my son and I invited a friend of his to go hunting when youth season opened. This kid is 14 and has never hunted. Unfortunatley, he injured his foot the day before the 1st, so he is at home healing up. Hopefully we can take him out for his first buck soon!
As fate would have it, my son and I have gone hunting 3 times this year already, and each time we had good chances on small bucks. We are looking for something bigger so we let them walk, but they would have been perfect for the first timer. Heck, we almost stepped on the first buck before we saw him. Then the second almost stepped on us when we were sitting in a field. I love seeing the look on the deers face when they find out how close we are to them!
I do have a black bear tag this year. On the first day I saw a small one but couldn't get a shot. Then about an hour later, we see a big one from our living room, so up the hill I went again. Alas, I couldn't get close to him. Ended up chasing a smaller one, but no luck. maybe soon.
