Little guy-------Big hobby

[Bigfoot]

My son is quit the little sportsman despite that fact that I hate hunting. I don't have a problem with it, I would just rather do anything than sit and wait. He killed a button buck last year, and was never really satisfied. We sat for two days waiting for what he called the perfect buck. I lost count of the bucks he passed up. He got excited when this one stepped out. After he shot it, I asked why it was special. He said did you see how old it was. I said no. When we got to it, I mouthed it. A gummer. I never seen a cow this bad. The turkey this spring was a no brainer evidently. He shot the first one that came close to the blind. Evidently my calling was scaring them away. When he asked me to stop they started coming in closer. He's 8. I guess I'll get him some how to videos for Christmas. I'm no help.

Looks like he will be making his own videos some day. Takes a lot of patience for someone his age to pass on bucks waiting on the right one. You should be very proud.

That is very cool. Good job raising him right

 

[Caustic Burno]

That looks like my kind of huntin Buddy always ready to go.
Good job, tell him to keep up the good work .
On the way out the door myself. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Great job. He is truly a sportsman. I know grown men who can't pass up the first brown thing that walks in front of them. He's my kind of hunter too. :tiphat:

His other passion is roping. Immediately after returning from the processor he caught a ride with a friend of mine to go rope. Every Sunday after church he shoots about 100 shells through his cricket then hits the roping pen.

That is pretty cool! It is great that you take time to take him even though you aren't into it. Hunting will be a real good thing for him to be into in a few years.

 

[highgrit]

Nice buck. That's great he must be a good shot also.

 

[HOSS]

Tell Little Bigfoot congrats! Nice buck.

I agree bigfoot that is very good of you to take him. It sounds like he is already a pretty mature hunter with a level head. Tell him Congrats on a nice looking buck and turkey.

As my Dad always said better for the boy to be huntin than huntin the boy.
Encourage all you can as he is off to a running start.

[ohiosteve]

That boy is really lucky to have Bigfoot for his Dad.

 

[chippie]

Congrats to the little guy for his abilities and etiquette.

 

[Brute 23]

That is awesome. Congrats to both of yall! :clap:

 

[greybeard]

Good looking young fella and good work with his buck and turkey. Looks like that tree to the right of his left shoulder might have been a buck rub tree.

Sixteen year old Granson shot one yesterday we tracked blood and I mean a good blood trail for a mile.
Finally after crawling through yaupon thickets literally on on hands and knees deer hit some open woods.
I knew the deer was headed for water bleeding way to much.
I found the doe laying in a 25 acre lake and she swam across that when she saw me. All I had to shoot her with was my pretend Roy Rogers pistol as we had gotten off the property we were hunting on. In Texas you have the right to retrieve your game, if you carry a firearm on someone's property that becomes criminal trespass. This is why I hate rifles.

You might want to check Texas law again.

Retrieval of Game: No person may pursue a wounded wildlife resource across a property line without the consent of landowner of the property where the wildlife resource has fled. Under the trespass provisions of the Penal Code, a person on a property without the permission of the landowner is subject to arrest.

Learned something new, Thank's.
I know the people that own the land, I am just not going to carry a firearm on somebodies property.
