    I was eleven or twelve when I got my first shot at a deer with archery tackle. I missed the doe, not once but twice! :)

    That's all I needed though, I was hooked forever after that.

    What a great picture. It is evident that you are proud of your son as you should be.

    I will only wish HIM good luck this season as I know YOUR season is about him anyway.

    That is great to see, looks like he really was having a blast. It is a great feeling to put someone on deer on their first bowhunt, I was fortunate to have that happen with my little brother.. That really does make 'em hooked for life! Great pic, good luck to you both this season

    Choking at the moment of truth...



    Typical Red Wings fan...

    Tell the boy to get back on the horse. And change allegiances to a team that can actually WIN a hockey game. :eek:

    I too am hunting with my son in his first year.He has already had a bout with turkey fever and missed at 5 yards.

    Hopefully we can both post success photos/videos in the near future.
