I had a question based on some comments from another post about a young girl killing a monster buck.
Do you really think that when a first time young hunter kills a monster buck that it really affects the way they view hunting in the future.
Just a couple of examples.
My son and his buddy both killed their first Antelope last year on the same day. One was considerably bigger than the other. Size was never even talked about between them and wasn't even an issue. They were both exstatic to take their first Antelope.
Then my son proceeds to shot his first buck deer this year, a yearling 2 point and is on cloud nine. He never looked at the fact that he killed a big Antelope the year before and then set his standands on something bigger or bust in the future.
I think he will eventually turn to wanting a trophy but him killing a 16" Antelope on his first try has not changed him to thinking he needs bigger the next time.
Just a question. I think us Adults add more to it than the kids even recognize. Right now my kids just want to have some success. Are they the norm? What do you guys think?
