A BIG Congratulations to your two sons with their first deer! Those are memories that all of you will carry for a lifetime!
If only more parents could have those moments to share with their kids……the world would be a much better place! memtb

My son and daughter both killed a doe first and a 6pt was both of their first bucks. I have 10 times more fun watching them kill deer than me doing it myself. Sadly, no hunting big game this year for them because we just moved to Wyoming. Cherish those memories because they grow up fast.

My son will get to start next year but my daughter will have to wait a few more. We are loving it so far though!

Not asking specifics……but, what region of Wyoming did you relocate to? While I'm being noisy……where from? memtb
I wish I could remember that day, my daughter was 9 at the time. I was furloughed from work back the first week of Nov 2012 from a job I had just started in Feb that same year. She had an opportunity on a small buck the first evening in the blind, but wasn't comfortable and didn't take the shot. I was recalled to work the very next morning and I had leave OK for TX after the morning hunt. I left her in the capable hands of my good friend, and received this picture the last night of the 4 day hunt we had planned.
I was able to make her first pronghorn hunt when she was 12 three years later.
Her "uncles" saved me again fall of 2015 when I had an accident that shattered my right leg. They took her to mountains to get her first mule deer.
I was finally able physically to be there when she took her first elk two years later. Along with her "Uncle" Cody, who has been there for all her firsts.
While I couldn't be there for all her firsts, I'm greatful and blessed with good friends who made things possible for her.
She's doing more hunts on her own now and I miss the days sitting with her in the blind or on a hillside glassing for her next opportunity. Time just goes by faster than any of us want them too, I'm just proud she loves the time field and she's blossomed into a capable young woman.
I'm happy for all the young hunters experiencing their first hunts. I'm also more than a little jealous of all you parents and mentors out there with them. Congratulations all, and may you be blessed with many more successful hunts!

Congratulations ducky for the memories that you have of your daughter…..even though you weren't there for all of them.
Perhaps the greatest thing about your daughter……she's still hunting after all those years! Not many young folks remain committed!
A
to both of you! memtb

My younger son shot his first deer a couple weeks ago on the Palouse.
6 Creed, 103 factory ELDX, 250 yards.
I Euro'd it up and it's hanging in his room now.
