CO Youth Hunt w/pics
« on: October 10, 2011, 02:03:00 PM »
The Colorado Traditional Archer's Society (CTAS) puts on a youth hunt every year (this year we did two) and I was lucky enough to be a mentor for the hunt this past weekend.  The hunt is for mule deer does.  One deer was killed at the first hunt an none were killed at the hunt I was on.  It was tough hunting conditions this past weekend.  The cold weather made it hard for the kids to sit long in a blind and the frozen crunchy snow made stalking hard.  Still there were a couple shots and several close calls.  A good time was had by all and hopefully we have a few more trad hunters among our ranks.  Here are a few pics.

Kudos to you and CTAS, Mark!    :thumbsup:  
What a great start for some young folks to be mentored and to realize that "wackin' em" isn't the reality of the hunter but that the natural world is full of hit or miss.

I hope so Joseph.  Although a cool picture, I think everybody knows that "busted" feeling.

This is the 13th year that Colorado Traditional Archers Societ (CTAS) has sponsored a traditional archery youth hunt.  Here is a photo from the previous week's hunt.   The weather was a little nicer that weekend.  Thanks to Mark and all of the people who helped with these hunts.  Jim
