An opportunity!!!!! Explain to the young man. It is too late to bow hunt. But why not take him with you one morning or evening. You with the bow. The young man as an observer.

Remember he is only 8 years old. Every 8 year old is different. Could be a great opportunity for you both.

This was kind of my intention, posted by another poster.. again big difference did I say let him hunt?……..

Taking the kid hunting, and letting him "hunt" are two different things. Take him for a cold morning hunt, dressed appropriately. See if he can sit still, be quiet, be excited about everything he sees. If he can get up early to be miserable and cold, and can't wait to go again, he may have potential. Build on that.



Clearly reading the situation and giving it any thought at all befor posting is not yours.

Would you take a kid bow hunting that can at best hit a paper plat 3 out of 5 times with a 20 lb bow that has not been practicing, does not know anatomy and shot angle placement, and you don't have 2 man stands set up o only getting asked about it the night before the hunt.

Im sure you would jump right on that.

sounds like he has no issue taking him if he put in the work and was prepared. Not the last minute crap and likely loosing a deer if he shoots one.

The issue is not taking the kid its his wife being mad. Myself well.... if my wife did/acted like he says his is she would be down the road. She is being childish and showing him zero respect. I won't tolerate that.

Just shows what has been taken away by politicians. When I was 10 I was hunting deer by myself and hunting squirrels and rabbits by myself at age 6
