Raising Them Right

[Indian Summer]

Here's a buddies two sons after day 1 of the Pa gun season. What a day! One to remember for sure. The one on the left is 10 years old and was on a Mentor Hunt. His first deer. I just absolutely love this picture and couldn't wait to share it. THAT is what it's all about huh!

Very nice. I helped my buddy the other day get one of his boys first deer. It is great to see youngsters out hunting. Have a couple more years till my daughter will get her first "solo" deer.

Outstanding! This is how we raise the next generation of smart, ethical hunters, and keep hunting a viable tradition in this country. I have enjoyed taking my nephew hunting more than my solo hunts. I was with him when he got both his cow elk, the thrill of that far surpasses getting my own game. Take a youth hunting

Awesome stuff! But man, that makes hunting tough after starting out with deer like that. Nice bucks.

Awesome, great deer Also this is what is needed, more youth getting involved in hunting. It is also fantastic that this was a mentored hunt.

Those boys and their family have memories to cherish forever. Thanks Indian Summer for sharing the picture with us.

Me neither Paul!

I've guided lots of people to elk. Tons of first elk too. But the one I cherish most is 3 years ago when I put my 13 year old niece on her first a really big cow. She packed a quarter the whole way (200 yards lol) back to the truck. It was awesome!!!

I hate to rain on the parade but I see a problem. The bar is set too high after that experience!

Kidding aside, nothing like watching kids experience hunting through their young eyes.
