Anyone else got a kid they are taking hunting this weekend? Hoping to get my son his first deer but now we can use the rifle. 7mm-08 youth for us. I would think we should be able to get on a doe. I'll be honest I'll be disappointed if we can't get his first this weekend. I am really looking forward to it.

Sounds like fun, good luck closing the deal.
So what will you do in celebration? Is there a ritual your going to make him do or maybe yank his chain a little?

I started the tradition that if you shoot a deer on our land and recover it you have to take a shot of the "whitetail whiskey" and then sign the bottle with the date. The orignal bottle is about halfway gone. I figure I'll do the shot for him until he is maybe 16-18 ish. But I'll let him sign the bottle. For adults, it doesn't matter how much you hate whiskey (and this shit isn't that good believe me) you are doing it. If you don't want to do the shot then don't hunt. LOL  |

Lol, I've seen that face made many times!
Maybe a "cement mixer" will become my tradition just for the fun of it.

My buddy and I are taking our 10 yr old boys out. Looking forward to it. It would be great if he could get his first buck as well as shooting his bear two weeks ago.

This sucks. Gonna rain all day tomorrow and maybe just maybe let up in the last hour of light. That of course could turn out to be awesome but jeez what a waste of a day. We will go out and sit in the blind around 3:30 and take our chances. Sunday might be the better day. I am planning on staying sunday night and taking him into school late monday.
