I was just wondering if this opprotunity is open to the new guys also!! I would love to get in on this one, or the next one and take my daughter on her first hunt with me!! I only live about 2 1/2 hours away from there!!

Any member is invited and welcome.

It would be great to have you and your daughter join us and I am sure that I speak for everyone when I say that.

Nothing is better than having a young first timer in camp ..... don't know why but thats just the truth of the matter

This is sounding better all the time

Do they both bow hunt or want to?

I have always maintained that if you have the chance to take a young potential hunter to a preserve it is the best experience likely since animals will be seen and lessons learned without the down side potential.

Let me explain my thoughts here.

When a young hunter first goes out into any situation , it is an unknown regardless of how much time is put into the learning process prior.

Shot placement and range estimation will be the major players in the first shot going wrong.

Now I am not saying that there is a high likelihood of a bad shot because that depends on the person but I am saying that more so than at any other time , there is a higher probability.

Besides the two afore mentioned difficulty's we have adrenaline to contend with and we all know that this is going to effect everyone!.

Now with all of this said....where would you want the worst case scenario to occure?....in the field or on a preserve?.

I personally had this happen to me while on a preserve and although I did not get the animal with my bow , the guide did find it much later in the day and dispatched it with a rifle.

Two things were gained in this instance as it applies to the young hunter.

First the feeling of loss is eliminated and although it may be a bummer to not have harvested your own animal cleanly , there is alot of comfort in knowing that you didn't leave a wounded animal out there

Secondly , you have still aided in the harvest of meat for the family and that is and should be the very bottom line for any hunter and it's a bottom line that you can still be proud of

There are 17 with the potentials and 19 with the possibles as of now.

We can have over 20 as they have a hard area that could take an easy 10 guys/gals

I am told it is very challenging .... maybe too challenging !
