Practice, Smactrice......Really! And you call yourself a hunter? Your statements are some of the most asinine I've heard on this forum! I can respect a man for what he believes in. But I have no respect for someone calling themselves a hunter while making shots guided by devine intervention!

If someone believes that God guides their arrows and bullets,thats ok with me. But I think I'll keep practicing myself. And I would not be a good mentor,to give the young hunter the green light to shoot when he did. I would have waited for a clear shot at one deer. And I will be the first to tell ya. I make mistakes and learn from them.

Is it not different from wireless security cameras? They are legal. I know a couple of people who set them up on the edge of the woods facing their driveway for home security.

LOL.....! Thanks,I needed that!

Chance of a shower early in the morning,then sunny and nice for your shower on Saturday. You got a great day for a shower grow!

Huge difference shooting a deer with a broadhead and a bullet/slug. They kill in different ways and recovery requires some different skills to track a broadhead shot deer. Not to mention the flight differences of bullets and bolts. A bow safety course is a must! Should have been done that way from the start.

Woodchucks are my enemy! I'm currently at war! I refuse to eat the enemy!

Or Gunther at .99 cents a six pack! We didn't care what it tasted like!

That's a cool display! Never seen one quite like that. And an impressive collection of spurs too!

Great tip,I'll try it! Thanks!

Very very nice work! You should be proud to have done so much on your own. Bet you will be glad when the work is all done and you can sit back and enjoy it all!

Thanks guy's. I'm hoping to schedule a course with a local gun club soon with both boys. I just feel it will be a little more interesting than an online course. They are now in baseball season and at least one is playing all stars,that will extend the season a bit. So I may have to take them separately depending on their and the course schedules. I will naturally,sit through the course with them and explained that it will be kind of a "grampy time" with them,and that,we all love to have. I also explained that the real learning and fun will start as we hunt together.

You are absolutely right jjb4900!Both boys have been going out with me for a few years now. They are 11 and 13. They are very good shooting with bow and gun,are very safety conscious and becoming fine young woodsmen. The younger one is the one who eats,sleeps and breathes the outdoors. No problem with him. All he talks about is hunting and fishing and outdoor stuff. He says he can't wait to deer hunt. The older one is an honorers student that is into computers and that is why he was asking about the on line course. He didn't want to take the course last year so I didn't push it. Now I just want him to get certified so we can small game hunt and let him carry his own gun with me this fall.

My oldest grandson is now interested in taking the hunter education course. I would prefer we do it the old fashion way,and go to a local gun club. But he has a friend that took the course on line,and wants to go that route. So my question is, can he take an online course in nys,and is it something anyone is familiar with as far as knowing a young person that has done it.

And nice to hear from you Borngeechee! Haven't seen ya around for awhile!

Did some tent camping with my grandsons last summer. We had no cot or air mattress and my back felt the pain. Got air mattress's now and they are already asking to go when school is out. A great way to make fun memories.

Love fawn pics! He looks bright eyed and bushy tailed!

Happy Bithday! A great milestone in life. Hope it was filled with good times and family.

You are so right about that jjb!

Absolutely awesome pictures,story and hunt! Beautiful trophy too. Not many of us will ever be fortunate enough to pull off a hunt like yours. So thanks for sharing your hunt with us! Looks like it was an amazing experience!

If the situation was bad enough to have the police come to my home over a family matter. I or that family member would be moving out pronto! I couldn't or wouldn't live like that. I much prefer a peaceful and quiet life at home. And nobody especially the police,needs to know my business.

Sounds good to me! Will have to bring the Mrs. to drive me home if I have more than two though.......lol. And you are more than welcome to drop by our little piece of paradise anytime you come to this neck of the woods. Always have a cold beer on hand for guests.

I'm only a ten minute drive to Schoharie. Beautiful country for sure! Enjoy your stay and an ice cold beer by a warm fire.
