how abbout getting a senior out hunting as well. Seems as we get older over 65 the people you use to enjoy hunting with are no longer around and or the kids are gone to there own life  style in another state.

Find anybody who wants to try hunting, and probably has wanted to for a long time, and invite them to go in May. 

I've gotten many middle aged people into hunting over the years, both men and women, when they asked about what it was like.  I simply say, "Why not give it a try?", and invite them to go.  I rarely get turned down.  I think they wanted to ask me to take them but didn't want to impose, thinking it too much to ask.

Any spark of interest, by any child, friend, relative or stranger, should be looked upon as an opportunity to bring another hunter aboard.  Once they see there aren't as many obstacles in the way as they assume there are, they will embrace hunting with a passion.

i think we should make every effort to help out older guy's in the woods, especially deer season, alot of older guy's drop out because they can't find someone to help em drag a deer out of the woods. i would stop what i'm doing in a minute to help an old timer get one out of the woods, and have offered several older hunters my cell number for that reason...hell i'm not too far from that stage in life myself.

I hunt near the house so I have a plastic sled in the area. If I get a deer I walk to the sled and take it back to the deer, tie the deer on and the sled makes all the difference. It slides easy, even goes over branches and or a rock wall. The type of sled is flat bottom. If I am hunting out of the car I carry it in the trunk. At 70 years young those days of just picking up and tossing a deer over my shoulder are long gone.

I'll be 70 in September . If i see an ald guy dragging a deer , i'll give him a hand . For that matter , i''ll help a younger guy . I have been using a sled for several years and wore the bottom out of one of them . Bought a heavy duty sled at DICKs and that should last me a few years .

I bought an ATV a couple years ago and have yet to use it to haul a deer . A couple spots where I had to retrieve , I couldn't get an ATV in there . I'm thing of buying a winch and installing it this summer . It will be worth it even if I only use it a couple times .

oops ! What does this have to do with a Youth Hunt ?
