He was It was a great experience for him this is the second Idaho 4x4 I have taken with him, and I might have heldfor one bigger but he feed towards us and finally bedded down 100yrd from us it was great. He is so hooked the one thing he didnt like was dragging that buck out in the dark. He passed hunters ed last year at 9 and only missed one question I'll probly let himdo the mentor tag in Idaho next year, not sure if I want him out hunting in Utah yet though.
