Iowa Youth Season 2014

We decided to try some new to us public ground for hunting this year. A beautiful area, but we have not had much time to scout due to everyone having a busy schedule.

My oldest son hunted with my 14yr old while I scouted a few hills over to see what I could see as the evening drew near. I walked in with them, they decided on a spot, then I backtracked to an area that we noticed on the way in.

One of the many large garden spiders that we tried not to disturb on the hike in, they love building their large webs in the tall grass along the two track.

Even though I was a ways away and tucked into a hillside, when the triumph went off, it still made me jump. They had an hour of shooting light left and I wasn't expecting any action quite that early.

A perfect 80yd broadside, double lung/heart shot made short work of the tracking job for the brothers.

I said the same thing last year but it's worth repeating, looks like you have built yourself quit the good hunting team! It shows in these a pics and from all the success that this is something the boys truly enjoy and not something dad is making them do.

That's funny you mention that, I told them them the same thing. I think they like hunting almost as much as i do!

Sweet!

Congrads to the Youth Hunter and the "Team"! :applause: artyman:

Awesome story and thanks for sharing! Looks like he shot a really nice sized doe! Teaching him right way to go!

As long as my boy stays out of trouble at school he'll get to hunt late ml season here in Nebraska, can't wait!

Excellent write up and pictures. And you're a lucky person to have such good hunting partners. And might I say... man that is a nice looking doe. Nice shooting and way to go!!!

Great story and pictures. Good day with your "team". You have started them well. Good job.

Congrats to your son! A great shot and a great memory.

Awesome job! I know you are very proud of your boys, deservedly so. Looks like you've done a fine job with them!

Very nice
The area looks great, I would enjoy hunting there even if I didn't see any deer!

Thats great.

Enjoy your time with the boys. It goes fast and I now hope my Son will return to someday to hunt.

Perhaps this will be the year?

That's what it's all about, great stuff


I prefer meat in its original packaging
