I had a friend have that happen to him one year. He took up spear chucking the next year. Never had it happen again. Congrats all!

Load them boys up and take them to another state to smack some more bucks. Several states allow non-resident youth to hunt very cheap. Go buy a cheap coonhound and trapse around all night treeing cheap coons and letting the kiddos roll them out of the trees.
Around here - the winter crappie bite is amazing I hear - never done it but I hear many guys really catch very nice crappie in the next few weeks.

cut more firewood

can a bunch of that venison

do you have group hunting in IN we do in WI so as long as your with anyone in the party can shoot your deer tags you just have to be there during gun season.

when I was younger I would shoot my grandpas deer for him back in the days of 1 doe tag each. it went in his freezer he was there , one time he was so comfortable hearing aids removed hat down over ears head down sleeping , a deer had walked right in and was about 20 yards in front of his stand about a 75 yard shot for me so I dropped it and he woke up for that. I gut it and drag it out also. all he had to do was mark his tag with time and date.
his shoulders were so shot he couldn't even pump his shotgun without bringing it down to his waist. then later he borrowed my dads pistol and just carried that in a holster , he never fired a shot but he had a good time.

No party hunting in Indiana allowed.

Atlatl. That's the answer!

Took them to ky for the youth seasion on public ground 3 hours away. All the public anywhere near me it to close to the city and limited to draw hunts or late muzzleloader. I'm still looking found a place that's 139k acres down by TN 3.5 hrs away and another in the eastern side of the state that is huge and about 3 hrs. Both big woods. Hopefully I can find some farm grounds closer. I'm off a lot of their rifle season.

MO and Ohio could be done if I knew where to start.
