dvl4lf Report post Posted April 7, 2015 I got sick and tired of my girls not getting drawn for youth hunts so I decided to put them in for an adult hunt that I felt had better odds . . . . . and Bam - they got drawn! I put them in w/ my dad and I so we'll have 3 generations of hunters together for a late cow hunt in unit 6B. Excited that they'll finally get to hunt! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted April 7, 2015 Be prepared for an AWESOME experience. I got to hunt elk with my younger daughter last year. It was awesome, but talk about pressure! I have never felt so much anxiety in putting someone on a game animal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted April 7, 2015 Be prepared for an AWESOME experience. I got to hunt elk with my younger daughter last year. It was awesome, but talk about pressure! I have never felt so much anxiety in putting someone on a game animal. What he said! I put my daughter in for general hunts for the exact same reason. As a Hunter Ed instructor, I've talked to too many parents who's kids lost interest in hunting because they had to wait 3-5 years to get a youth elk tag. I put my daughter in for a general tag last year for her first elk hunt and had my absolute best year of hunting ever. Just like lance says, I had so much pressure and anxiety (all self-imposed). She didn't fill her tag, but found her success in other avenues and we grew much closer! Good luck! Now we're just waiting to see which one of got the elk tag this year (my money is on her)!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
