Elk thats what it is all about, I have had my 12yr. old son involed in hunting,since he was 9 yrs. old. I am proud to say he took 3 whitetails last year. buck and 2 does. Year before his buck scored 149/3/8s! He is hooked! Right now he wants to chase deer instead of girls! That will change! LOL!! This will be my 9 yr. old daughters first year. Can not wait for that hunt! Now if I can just get my wife involved!
