old dog
Spike
With the help of a young hunting mentor (26) my 15 year old and I (old) began hunting this year. We took to squirrels immediately, especially me, but a boy wants a deer. Our friend set him up on 50 beautiful acres in the foothills. This was the result. Perfect heart/lung at 20yards from the ground. It's a great experience for me to have my son get the first family deer. Dealt with it from field to freezer. (Our mentor is a trained meat cutter).Thanks to all on the forum who offered advice and encouragement after my first posts. If you have the chance, mentor a hunter. Once I get a little more time under my belt I will too.
