Dave, you do a nice job on tips. You use a file, or what, son?
Yesterday I did something I haven't done in a long time. I hunted with a 12 year old boy and his Dad. Neither I nor his Dad carried a bow, we were there for the boy. His Dad and I are good friends and he came down last weekend and we set up a two man tree stand in a very good spot for them to hunt. I hung my stand about 30 yards from theirs. We hunted just the evening and they saw two does and a huge Gray Fox, but the deer did not come close enough for a shot and neither did the fox. We saw many squirrels and ground hogs also. The kid was really excited. That made our night and they will be back in the future. The boy took a doe last year with a rifle, his first deer. He was 11 then and was under the mentor youth program to harvest the doe. He got out of the truck yesterday and told me he has a real hunting license this year:) LOL, it was a fun hunt.
