Probably shot through his shoulder and got 1 lung...with you bumped him the second time he vamoosed. Chances he's still alive but now lives somewhere else.

I like my Jard single stage, breaks at 1 1/2 lbs.

Bigorange, I totally understand what your saying about not pressuring the kid, that's smart of you. Starting out my son was totally scared of recoil....even a .22 rimfire, one day I had him sitting on my lap and was trying to get him to pull the trigger but he wouldn't.....I couldn't take it anymore so I reached up and quickly slapped the trigger. He was shocked but replied that wasn't so bad, after that I couldn't pull him from the gun. Now only 3 yrs later he has shot my 12 gauge supermagnum on turkeys....but that's another story because that shotgun totally bowled him over. He laughed about that. Anyway, what I'm saying is I slowly introduced him into guns and he loves them. He now has his own .243 a .357 maximum contender rifle and is hoping to get a 20 gauge shotgun of his own. Good luck, I'm sure he will take to it.

Your son doesn't want to hunt????? Oh my!!!! My son is frothing at the mouth already for next year and keeps yapping about it...can't shut him up. Course that's not a bad thing, I'm the same way. Lol If your son does draw an "impossible to draw" tag all I can say is "Dad!!!!!!, when we hunting?" Lol

I put in with my business card, there's always money in there.

Not in spam folder either, but fortunately I was smart enough to print off the receipt as well. also the app fees have been drawn from my card too so I guess I really have nothing to worry about. I hope.

Remember last year when no email confirmations were sent? Same this year so far. Ugh.

Was just gonna post mine and my sons both came up correct.

Be a great oppurtunity for someone sitting on max points......

My son has drawn 2 out of 3 times for a whitetail hunt. and hes only been putting in for 3 yrs. and I know for a fact hes going to get a cow elk tag this year..lol me on the other hand...im a bp collecter.

oh I called em, last year, they told me I should have the loyalty point but I told them it isnt showing up on my draw bp section. they insisted it should be there but it isnt. the person on the other end wasnt very helpful...but to her credit she seemed like she tried.

Thats ok, I havent missed a draw in 10 yrs, but at this time azgfd wont give me my loyalty points, I just shrug it off as an oh well. what can I do.

I'll make it easy on him. 3000 - 8pts, nonres, single hunter. *grin*

All 2014 hunt numbers. 3105 - 8pts, nonres, single hunter 3076 - 2 pts, nonres, single hunter 3071 - 2 pts, nonres, single hunter 3050 - 2 pts, nonres, single hunter thanks once again Flatlander.

I'd have no issues, I took down an eastern whitetail with one shooting the barnes 53 grain tsx.

Just back into town from a great hunt where my son was able to connect on a beautiful 97" gross score coues buck. This is his second coues ever the first being a spike. Last Saturday we were watching a hillside where we had seen 4 shooter bucks previously when this boy steps out at 70 yds, my son took the shot with his .243 shooting 80 grain TTSX's and the buck took off, we found him about 100 yds later down a steep hillside. My son is 11 yrs old and already has more deer under his belt than I ever had at 18. Lol

I didn't draw a tag this year, course I try for the strip tag but maybe next year I will try for a leftover tag because I need a coues too. But that will be a tough one to beat. Lol

Coueswhitetail, thanks for rotating those pics, yes, I posted those with an iPhone. Crazy hitech gadgets. Lol

Thanks for the comments all, we are going to have him mounted, hard to not mount something of this size, it'll look good in his bedroom.

Ok, why are my first two pics sideways?

I'm in 29 as we speak, posting from my camp. I know of an area that holds 4 shooter bucks right now, my son took one of the other shooters yesterday morning. I'm not telling where they are either because we have 2 other hunters in camp and they are hoping to put their tags on any one of the others. In this unit you need to scout!!! And the funny thing is most of the hunters we have seen from camp are road hunters....ha ha ha good luck with that. Next week I'll post some pics of my sons buck probably go between 80-90"

Went out for about an hour last night and spotted up a fork horn pretty close to saddlebrook.

I like Leupold Mark 4's in that price range.

33 is an awesome unit IF you get away from the roads but back in 99 I shot and lost a monster coues up by oracle. He was a bonafied 130" 5x5, I was using those stupid Puckett bloodtrailer broadheads...my arrow blew through him and was laying on the ground where he was standing........with the remains of a broadhead on it. We were able to track him for about 500 yds until he found some snow and you could tell he was eating it, after that his blood stopped and we lost him, went back for several days afterward and could not locate the carcass. I still get sick thinking about it it was a 25 yd broadside shot and he stumbled and fell many times before he went out of sight.

Awesome. I love it. Wish more people did this with their families...
