Pa 2019 youth hunts.

[reeltime]

We had our annual youth antlerless hunt during the Oct. Youth season 3 of the kids arrived prior to the first day and checked out the blind locations I had set up for them.

All 3 of the youth hunters scored the first day on adult doe.

Gavin is 13 and has been hunting with me in pa since age 7

Addison is 10 and has been hunting since age 6 in pa.

My buddy's daughter abby is 8 and this is her 2nd year hunting my farm.

My buddy's son colton is 12 and has been hunting my farm for 4 years.

 

This years antlerless hunt.

The new Saturday start had all four kids returning to my farm for the first day of buck season.

Stand locations where assigned and 1 ground blind was set up for the youngest of the group.

The day dawned clear and frosty cold but deer movement was good and stand locations were where they needed to be

Addison was the first youth to shoot.

A nice Five Point gave her a broadside shot at 60 yards and with one of my 243 rifles he dropped in his tracks.

 

Shortly after Addison shot I heard a Abby shoot from their blind location and was soon after sent a picture of Abby with her 10-point buck she shot with a 243 rifle with reduced recoil loads

 

Gavin and I had seen two big eight points that he couldn't get a shot at and one other huge buck that was running so no shot taken by 10 a.m.

We changed stand locations up onto my Oak flat and it was non-stop action at 2:15 3 buckchase two doe out of the sanctuary and as Gavin was getting ready to shoot the larger 8 point I looked up and saw another bigger buck coming so I told him to hold off I grunted the buck stopped at 50 yards away and I knew at the shot when the deer took off that it was hit hard and I thought I saw him pile up but we waited 15 minutes before we climb down to find a healthy blood trail and I had Gavin to track his buck.

At the end of the trail he had a beautiful 10 point on the ground shot with his brand new rifle that I bought him for Christmas.

Colton and his dad it changed stand locations and went to my corner stand where Addison shot her Buck at that morning and at 4:30 an 8 point came out with 8 doe and he made the 80-yard shot.

 

The kids all did very well all one shot kills and very little tracking required. To say the excitement level in Camp Saturday night was that a fever pitch would be a huge understatement.

i hope so, i do worry that they will be disappointed when they embark on their own. they have all been very successful while hunting.

Nah, You set the hook and those fish are caught. If they don't see the results you have shown them it will just be incentive to try harder.
