Just was wondering if any other members have kids that turned 12 for this years hunting season?

Im pretty excited as my oldest turned 12 in Dec. and will be hunting hard core. He did get out cougar hunting with a tag in his pocket but with the warm weather the hunting didnt work out for him but he had fun.
Now with bears starting to come out he is gung ho about that and has been shooting his bow hoping to get a spot and stalk bear with it.
We have a few hunts planned and he has his sights set pretty high. As he wants to try and get a big elk we saw last fall with his bow and we will be hitting the mountains hard looking for a sheep, with him asking if we could try and get a broomed ram like my step Dads(its 182 so he may lower that once hunting lol).
  As for deer hunting, well he has seen many huge deer and im sure will holding out for a bit at the start of the season but we will see how many bucks tempt him before he pulls the trigger!
Another hunt that should be fun is for moose. Im a priority 10 so should get my prarie moose tag and him and I will partner up and see if we cant arrow a tank.
Then its cat season! Mybe this will be his year!

Looking to be an exciting fall!!!

With that I have a 10yr old that figures the rules are BS that he cant hunt. He says he shoots as good as way older kids and many adults and knows how to hunt so why cant he. Tough to tell him just becuase someone made that age rule because he has seen some of the retards that hold a license and really im not sure that age should be the deciding factor. Anyways thats for another topic!

Bring on hunting season!!!

gotta love them little trophy hunters right out of the gate.  i wish the kid luck.

My son is now 35 years old but...

I remember when he turned 12 in august years ago..lol

He could only hunt small game such as chickens and snowshoes.

He had a blast that year and so did I...

Fast forward 2 years later and he was legal to hunt big game....short story..

Danged if he didn't shoot a (small) bull moose his first year out...

He was so happy and so was I..

My grandson is 4 in December....I hope that I'm still around when he gets his first moose..

3 more years b4 my son turns 12 but hes already a little hunter. Cant wait til then.

Darcy,
 Your smile will be bigger then your son's when he gets his first.

 Well, my daughter still has 10 years to go before she is legal, but i can already see it coming through in her. She calls out big game species when she sees them on wild tv, looks through her toy binos when we are driving and tells me the coyotes are hiding, and looks at me with a grin and says 'shot em daddy' after a kill shot on wild tv.

 

Few years for me to wait the boy just turned one.
