Youth's First Buck!

[flashpoint]

Once you have kids you wait your whole life to to go on their first hunt with them. Well I had that pleasure to join my 9 year old son Logan on his first youth hunt here in Vermont this weekend....what a hunt it was! I am fortunate to have a little guy who eats...sleeps & breaths the outdoors just as I do, so needless to say he was pretty restless friday night. Saturday morning found us in the tree stans on a Beech ridge at 6:30 am. At about 7:15 a doe came motoring down the ridge, I told Logan she was running for only one reason! Two mintues later Mr. big cam walking down, grunting away! Logan kept his composure suprisingly well & at 35 yards he dropped him with his 20 gauge Mossberg slug gun! After some hugging & many phone calls we made our way down to the 9 point, 174 pound buck! An unbelievable hunt that has Logan & I both on cloud nine! A few pics of our hunt!

Way to go Logan and Dad. What a first buck! Logan looks like he could model Filson outdoor sportswear. Love the classic woolrich stuff also. Nice blind in the background too .

Thanks for the Kudo's guys! Logan loves wearing my old Woolrich stuff, which I just happen to keep for him to hunt in some day! At the rate he's growing it will only fit for a couple of seasons! As far as the Orange goes, we have vest in our packs that we wear while walking in & out. Although this particular property we are fortunate enough to be the only ones having permision to hunt on it! Helping the land owner with wood cutting & fixing fence goes a long way.....plus having Logan get his written permission teaches good habits for years to come!

By the way, the Wool I am wearing is a new line of custom wool clothing I am a dealer for. Any one wanting info on the product check our our web site at http://www.silentpredator.ca , drop me a PM for more info & pricing!

Great job!

Great job I love to see kids out hunting, it's disgusting that New York state will not allow youths under 14 to gun hunt for deer most of the 50 states allow youths to gun hunt at a very young age.

Congrats. I hope to share similar moments with my kids as they reach hunting age in the near future. Put out a blind this year as they have expressed an interest in sitting out there with me. We'll give it a try when gun season opens.
