Taking my son bowhunting in the morning
Tomorrow morning will be the first time my son gets to see a sunrise from a deer stand. He's just along for the show, but is shotgun hunting this fall with me.Tomorrow is just a warmup to gethim ready for next monthwhen he is the one doing the hunting.We will be watching a funnel between the bedding area and our pond.....just hope to see something. I'm 0-2 on my hunts this year, haven't seen a thing.This heat has the deer 10 kinds of screwed up right now.

RE: Taking my son bowhunting in the morning
You are giving your boy something he'll remember the rest of his life. My son still remembers the first time I took him fishing (age 4) and the first time he went hunting (age 10), He's now 24. Give him something special to remember! Good Luck.

Good luck with your son. I took my 5 year old son on opening day last weekend and we were lucky enough to harvest a very nice doe. It is a day I will never forget and I doubt he wont forget neither. Every time he tells someone the story he always includes "yea daddy said be very quiet cause there is a deer then he shot him and and we did a lot of high fives!"

I still remember my first like it was yesterday. Didn't see any deer but that didn't matter. I am sure this will be a memory your son carries with him through out his life.

RE: Taking my son bowhunting in the morning
5 days into the season and I have taken mine out 3 times already. First time out we saw a few, but none came close enough. Tonight on the way to the stand, he was clowning and jumped two does about 10 yards in front of him. I don't know if the deer jumped as high as he did or not. He's just 6, so I halfway expect stuff like that when I take him.
