My son was almost 13 this year, got his first buck in the 33 junior hunt. Just a spike but he didn't care. He also got his first javelina with his bow in Jan. You'll have a great time out there with your son, well it will be a toss up if you or him are having more fun.

Congrats on the bucks!!

I like the 175 bergers in my 300 weatherby, shoots great. Good luck on your hunt in 36b.

She needs to shoot whatever she shoots the most accurate. My hunting partners boy is 10 and shoots a .270 with a muzzle break, the boy hates to get kicked.(but loves the 270 with the break) My son also shoots a 25-06 with a muzzle break. Muzzle breaks work great for smaller people or people who don't like to get kicked hard. Women typically fall into this catagory. Whatever you get here, put a break on it.
