Youth hunters killed it this year.

[kd300wsm]

To start off the year one of the kids I coach in youth football asked me to help on his jr hunt so with school and practice on Friday and games Saturday we headed out sunday put him on a nice 4 point and he had his first buck down. Then had another kid I have taken out the last 2 years ask me to take him on the general hunt in October hunted Friday Saturday with the big buck not Turing up then sunday morning we found him send zac on the stalk he came in 100 yards above him and dumped him. . November jr hunt time my hunting partner davids kids drew the youth hunt. We headed out Friday morning glassed till our eyes hunt not seeing any of the bucks we had seen scouting so we headed to another spot to glass right away I pick up a nice 2 point. So I will tell you joe davids boy is a meat eater that's it. Show hI'm the buck in my glasses he says no I want bigger. With a dumb look on my face I said what happened to joe? This kid wanted a spike all year leading up to th hunt then find him a buck and it's to small wow. So we set the gun up on it so he can practice picking the buck up in the scope. And he says I got a different deer. So I find the 4 doe he is seeing then here comes a very nice 4 point. Buck is 440 I turn up the scope put it on 450 tell him shot when ready. Boom he hit him low in the front shoulder buck runs tords us by this time david has seria out with her gun to shoot the 2 point. Then she says I got the big buck in my scope david and both say shoot. She dropped him. Well joe it's your sisters deer he says were is that 2 point? Look around pick him back up get joe set up on him at 430 aND boom buck dropped. So brother and sister first deer tags and they just pulled a double. so then that night I head over to camp were some other friends have 3 youth tags in camp get there late Friday night they got 2 bucks down and 1 tag left so Saturday morning we see some bucks but just couldn't connect. Sunday morning set up to glass pick up a nice 3 point the stalk is on rylie made a heck of a shot at 404 yards hit ting his first muley right in the neck. Then last hunt my son drew a late dec youth tag. We hunted the first 3 days seeing a few nice bucks just nothing he wanted to hang his tag on then on Tuesday we glassed up a buck he wanted really bad. The stalk was on got in to 404 yards got him set up and buck fever set in after a few misses and chasing him over the hill we relocated him and he dropped him at 330 yards

Just wanted to add to kd300wsm's post on the youth hunters. We were fortunate to meet up with KD the second day of the hunt - he showed us some new country and gave my son an opportunity at a buck (that he decided to pass on). Looking forward to possibly hunting with KD in the future, as I am sure I could learn a lot. Thanks again KD!

 

Although we fell well short of KD's successes, both my boys were eventually able to take their 1st ever deer, with the youngest being happy to tag-out first. They are definitely hooked on Dec mule deer hunting! Already asking about next year, which is great!
