not to be negative at all but if he needed help to qualify how is he going to do it in the field? What if he gut shots a deer, there is a qualifying session for a reason. Mabey he will think that last year was my last year hunting.

NOT TO BE NAGATIVE BUT THINK ABOUT IT.

I see that you arebarely 14 years old so I'll try to cut you some slack. Maybe when you get older you will understand this story and I really hope you do.

If I would have been there and thought about it, I still would have helped!
Getting old and knowing you can't do the things you want to do isn't fun!!

BHJ,

It is sort of like you getting your drivers license you have to have help to prove that you candrive as good as everyone else, to get your license to gain one step further in the passage an rights of life. Well the older gentlemanwas offered alittlehelp to prove the same thing that he can enjoy what he has done forover a half a century, one more year.

some people should not be hunting just like some people should not be driving.

this is going to be a long night.

Son....DO me a favor. Print this out....put it in a time capsule.....and read it when you're 40. Just do it.

That story is touching.....probably moreso on a sliding scale the older the reader. You did good,

For you guys who's heroes are your fathers.......who still have the chance to tell him that.....DO IT. You never know. I told a forum member who I think a lot of.....a little while back....

If my son came to me and told me that.....God could take me, tonight. What more could a man ever ask for?

On a side note......can you imagine the pride of that old man.....sitting in his stand, this season.....as upposed to the alternative? Kudos to you for helping him. Saluud.
