Hey guys here is my story. At the ripe old age of 39 I took to the woods for the first with some friends for opening day rifle in Big Indian, WMU 3A. 4 hours in I had a 8 point buck down. I have been hooked since. I thought it was easy, was I wrong. I took that buck in 2009 have taken a shot at one since.

Each season since I find myself spending more time in the woods where I got my buck trying to duplicate my success. Last season I started bow hunting. But I must admit it gets discouraging reading about guys being in their stands and seeing all sorts of activity. I rarely see any activity and what I do see is usually while heading back in from stand. The terrain is rough. I don't know what If any concentrated food source there is. I am trying to introduce my 8 year old son to it last year. He enjoyed himself but quickly said he would like to see some animals. Maybe I should get out of the Catskills, any ideas?

As having a couple young ones myself, I haven't taken them out deer hunting yet for the same reasons you have stated. However I do take them out squirrel hunting since there are a lot of those little critters running around in the woods. They have a blast and you get to spend time with them in the woods.

 

And welcome aboard!!
