Well now it looks like the season is starting early for us this year, deadline for 10 year olds to hunt is Aug 20, so my oldest boy is gonna sign up for the Bemidji State Park hunt.
That hunt will be on Oct. 16-17. It will be good for him to be able to go on his own and hunt with me alone. Dad will be just be there as an assistant and he will be doing it all himself.
Last year he passed on 6 shots due to light, weather, vehicles, people, etc. His younger brother got one the last weekend of ther regular season and it has gnawed on him all year.
While the DNR baffles me with how they do things. I do think that allowing kids the chance to hunt without the pressure of competition from adults is a wonderful thing.
So he is gonna use his Rem 700 .243 with 100 gr. Fusions or handloads as he chooses. Topped it with a 2x7 Leupold.
This will probably change my fall plans but he is definately worth it.
