What does Deer Hunting teach you?

That's what it's all about. I can't wait till my youngest is old enough. My oldest is special needs so we can't do a lot of the normal stuff. So him and I "hunt" we drive around look for turkey or deer. Then every now and again we try and stalk one. He's not good at being still or quite even his shhhh is loud. But it's hunting and teaches me it's more than just putting game on the ground.

You are absolutely correct on more than putting game on the ground
It is the time spent with the younger ones that is more rewarding than myself putting a 160+ buck on my wall
Best of luck with your son and the memories will always be there for you both

Indeed two years now I've given my target buck to kids and ended up with tag soup for my elk. But I loved every minute of helping my dad and uncle before we even started hunting for mine. Time to pay it back as my dad was always the one to give up his opening days and his hunts to make sure our were the best.

I am guide outfitter, chief butcher, overwatch, head tracker, instructor, sometime cook and foreman....and I still have to fit hunting in there somewhere ... family and their friends invade for October- November deer season ....I always get a deer, horns have never been a priority, save for bucks only seasons, so a hefty deer better look out.

Actually I have shipped some to a friend in AL one winter. He liked it.

I never told him what it was in it exactly. In this house it could be whitetail... Maybe mule deer... Possibly Canadian honker, grouse, pheasant or antelope.. Maybe even a mix of all depending whether I'm short on one for a recipe. It all eats the same .

It seems you have a great system going on
Made me hungry looking at your setup
Don't be surprised if I contact you in a few days
Thanks

I learned archery season is warmer than late rifle season. But I mostly rifle hunt, so I am a slow learner.

More serious, it taught me respect for the harvest and the appreciation for the experience and camaraderie rather than the expectation of bringing something home. Many great memories with family on the trips, whether it be deer, elk, or other.

Around here I'm afraid a lot of folks were only taught how to road hunt….

You have a season to hunt roads?
