Sorry for this being so late. I never got around to posting but I thought some of you would enjoy.
I met this young man at a neighborhood Christmas party in 2009. His dad doesn't hunt but many of his friends do. Prior to the YouthHhunt, I called his mom and asked if anyone would be taking him hunting. No one had offered so I took the day off and offered to guide.
We had a nice buck come in early after sunrise but couldn't get a shot. Then a doe and her fawn. Then this nice healthy four point showed up. All the deer kept coming in to our right making shots difficult. I told him to sit on my knee so he could shoot. I held Binoculars over his head and talked him through the shot.
He dropped him like a bad habit at 125yds! Funny thing is, he had never even shot a rifle with a scope on it! Not to mention it was my brand new 30-06. He was really excited but I think I was even more excited! He just turned 13 and is hooked. Now I can't wait to take him turkey hunting.
