WOOOOHOOOO....My 7 year old son's first kill. It's a Pope and Young
« on: July 04, 2011, 06:09:00 PM »
We went camping this weekend at our bow hunting club, and had our sights set on some pesky chipmunks.  I had been getting the boys all geeked up to exterminate them with extream prejudice.  We hunted them all day yesterday, and they were everywhere.  Here is a picture of my oldest son with his first kill.  I have been telling him to aim for the eye, so that it is either a clean kill or an honest miss.  Well as you can see, he listens really well.  This ones bands measured a solid 3/16" where the typical stripe is rarely over 1/8", so this should easily make and keep the Pope and Young record for years to come.  Well, atleast till the next little guy scores their first kill, and he will relinquish the title to them.  Get outdoors, it's a great place to be.

My little one (5 yrs old) tried countless times, but just couldn't connect, so he decided to get in on the photo opportunity one way or another, so I figured, why not?  Here is the both of them...

Once my son got the taste of success, he just couldn't put his bow down.  A little while, and about 100 arrows later, he connected again, but unlike the first, this guy needed a little help being dispatched.  But he pinned him solidly to the tree.

Now for those of you who don't know me, if there is something that needs to be shot, I'm right there in the thick of things having as much fun as humanly possible without the law being called out on me.  So that being said, I had to mark a kill of my own with this little guy.  In all we had so much fun hunting chipmunks that we were laughing after each shot.  Just another great way for a family to get out and enjoy the outdoors for 3 days.

As quick as them rascals are, I actually thought it likely impossible to shoot one with a bow!

Whenever I tried, they were long gone afore the shaft got anywhere near them!

Good shooting to all! Excellent feat for the kiddo!
