bowsniper Report post Posted March 27, 2006 On Friday, bowhunter4life (Mike) and I took our boys on their first big game hunt at Big Horn Ranch in Riverside, CA. The boys both shot Rams and had a blast! Here's a picture of Mike's son Jared with his ram. He shot it with a .243 at 80 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowsniper Report post Posted March 27, 2006 Here's a picture of my son Troy with his ram. He shot it with a 3006 at 40 yards. This is a great place to take your kids on their first hunt! Much better that they get buck fever here than on some buck it's taken years to get a shot at. Next time we go out we hope to have them hunting with their bows.

DEERSLAM Report post Posted March 27, 2006 Very cool Congrats to the boys. My son took his first big game, a Corsican ram also, three years ago when he was 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted March 28, 2006 Pretty neat hunt for the young hunters to succeed on . Did the dads get to pack the trophies out from the canyon bottoms? RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowhunter4life Report post Posted March 28, 2006 thanks for posting mark.we did get to do a little packing.I think I found a cure all for my hunting addiction.To have my 8 year old and see troy with such great joy and watching them talk about there shots to each other.brought a tear.I think mark and I made two young hunter 4 life.they both followed directions to the " T "waiting for perfect shot oppertunity.showing great respect to the game they took!.it has only been a few days and that is the hot topic daily.He brought a picture to school today of the ram.He said he showed it to everybody he new and stated hopefully he will get his mount back before the end of the school year to show it off.he already has found a place to put it in his room. that makes me a very bleesed person knowing my son is so proud, that he is a hunter and has honor and respect for our outdoors..I think I would give up hunting, to watch and guide him to many more hunts.( that is the first time I've ever thought that something could make me stop being the shooter.) watching the heart felt joy it gave those kids...man oh man I now know how much we need to take kids hunting.I never new the impact hunting has on our future hunter. mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
