Hi everyone,
Well, I'll try posting these pictures and see if it works.
I am from Idaho originally and grew up hunting muleys with my dad. I have since moved to Ohio and have had a blast this year going after whitetails. Ohio created a new law this year that has no minimum age for hunting. You are able to buy an apprentice license for a child or adult first time hunter. They must be with the licensed hunter when out in the field. They are hoping to get younger people involved in the sport. There is also no license or tag required if hunting on land you own. I wish it was like that in Idaho when I was growing up.
We have had a pretty good year between my neighbors and I. I spent the summer taking video and getting trail camera photos of over 25 different bucks that roam the few hundred acres around here. (8 were 140+)Below are the pictures of our neighborhood success.
My deer taken during bow season. It is my largest whitetail to date, but smaller than many I'd scouted. Maybe next year I'll have the patience to wait it out for the big ones.
My 9 yr. old son's first buck (10 point) taken with a muzzleloader. He was pumped. It was fun to watch as he grabbed the antlers after approaching the deer. There was still some air in the deers lungs, and as he lifted the head it let out a loud grunt. He dropped the rack and jumped about 3 feet in the air. I wished I had the video camera. I hope he is smitten for life.
Trail camera photo and post harvest photo of one neighbors buck. (about 140 gross 9 point)
Video footage photos and post harvest picture of the big one I saw over the summer. One lucky neighbor ended up connecting during the rut. To bad he didn't come by my tree. (170 gross 8 point)
I also had to include this photo of my 2nd son's first buck from 2004. He was 5 at the time. We spent the summer practicing shooting, and he made a perfect 30 yard shot through the heart.
Take your kids out early and often, My boys can't wait to be out in the woods with me each year.
