It well all come together one day and he will get a deer . Its the time spent together that makes the memories . Let him know how much you love spending that time out there with him . Best of luck there's still 3 months to go.

Good day no matter what.. We passed a few does today and still had a blast...

Nice JJ, they grow up too fast, you gotta enjoy these moments while you have them.  My yutes are in their 20s now, I miss those youth days, they were the best.

that's  a great hunt.  So many kids today get it too easy. Hell I took my son on two consecutive youth day deer hunts and he shot a nice 6 point then a mature doe the next year (ages 11 and 12). He has not wanted to hunt deer since - and now he is about to to turn 23. 

Just keep him interested.  It's even tougher now than it was for me over 10 years ago.  Just too many other distractions.    You get an A+++ in my book!

My son is the same as he hunted 4 youth days and to a nice high 7pt then a basket 8pt and then a non typical 10pt. His last youth day he wanted something bigger than the 10pt  . He pasted a couple smaller bucks that day. Hasn't hunted deer since and now is 23. 

Nick does he have his bow license or just shotgun?

Hope he gets his chance soon. At least he is having success on the birds and seeing deer.

Thanks guys. 

Yeah we had a blast. Really did. He gets it. He appreciates this stuff. We were still laughing later last night about the buck standing 15' behind us.

It was a successful hunt, the memories and anticipation of the next hunt are what makes It

He's got both now. Got his bow license with his little brother last fall. 

The issue the last few years I was on permanent nights/evenings. Work schedule sucked. Work 2 weekends then off one. Now I'm on day work so it's easier. Also some of the sports stuff ends this week so December should give us more time. 

They also like chasing pheasant and squirrel more than sitting still for a deer. Lol. Typical kids.

Lots of fun too, I think things like that are the key to keeping kids interested. They like action. I think too many new hunters are just brought deer hunting by their mentors and it can make them lose interest. Long as they are out there hunting something is a win as far as I am concerned
