Goldfinger78 Report post Posted October 21, 2020 Guys this was about a youth hunt!!! Sad that we can't even agree as hunters to help out future generations no matter how the style of hunting it is. If it is done legally that's all that matters!!! My son 100 percent worked his butt off for that buck and believe me their was no "instant gratification". He missed shots on this hunt and hadn't filled tags in the past on prior deer hunts. Everything he did on this and previous hunts thought him lessons to help be successful on this particular hunt. He is EXTREMELY grateful that we got a little help on the VERY LAST day of the hunt to help us make it successful. Of course being successful on hunts is the goal but even if we weren't successful my son was thought a great lesson to support others in need of help if they ask for it. That lesson alone will make him a better person in all aspects of life not just hunting!!! Hope those of you that disagree with the "style" of hunting can at least see that helping out the youth will continue to keep hunting alive and teach our young men and women great lessons that will help them throughout their life!!! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saguaro Report post Posted October 21, 2020 I think a lot of people don’t understand what it’s like to be a youth today. It’s the parents job to set them up for success at everything. Failure, stress, and disappointment are all unpleasant and should be minimized. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Failure stress disappointment were all experienced in this hunt and others. These things can not be avoided it's part of life, but it makes success much more appreciated. That's just another lesson my son learned!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you or Tom want to gripe about team hunting, cool, just make a thread for it. Don’t come into the guys post about his nephews hunt and piss on it. Its fine to have a different opinion. Just share it respectfully. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomharveyb Report post Posted October 21, 2020 I’ll call this. “My last $.02”. So if I’m reading things right, a hunt is a failure if it doesn’t end up with some critter on the ground. And conversely, it is a success if there is a dead critter. Every hunt I’ve been on is a success because I shared time outdoors , almost always with a friend or relative, got away from the city , business, phone calls , and politics. My son grew up hunting with my help as is my grandson now. We haven’t always come home with a critter, but it has never ruined a good time. The best lessons in life ,imo, come when things don’t work out the way we want. You don’t always get a smiley sticker on your paper and that’s ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed that if there wasn't a dead animal at the end of the hunt it would still be a success. Sharing the experiences in the woods with my son is the true "trophy". Also agreed that things not working the way we want teaches great lessons. I'll add something that I did not share earlier. The day before the hunt started my son found out that he was did not make the final cut for the soccer team at his school. Did he wine or moan about it. Nope!!! He just stayed positive and wanted to go hunting to forget about the outside world for awhile. He was way more positive then I could have even imagined. Very proud of him for that!!! He went into this hunt with a great attitude and ended it with one even before he got the buck!!! What I can't agree with you on is the fact that you feel the need to throw in your "$.02" in such a negative and devisive way. Acting like our success shouldn't be accepted because of the "style" of hunting we did to be successful. Just because you don't hunt that way doesn't mean others shouldn't or can't. Do your thing I support you, but stop trying to look down on other hunters when they are successful if they are doing it legally. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im just impressed he endured all the tough moments and put in grown up effort. Speaks volumes of his character and upbringing. Lots of grown butt men would have thrown in the towel before the last day. Hats off to the lad. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
