[QUOTE="noordinaryjoe, post: 558838, member: 22260"] This is a magnificent animal and your grandson should be very proud! My comments below are not intended to take anything away from those points. I wonder, however, about the tactic of introducing young hunters to trophy hunting. A doe or spike whitetail is plenty enough to get the excitement going, pride up and 'hook' a young hunter for life, IMHO. (It was for me and everyone else that I hunt with.) I'm sure a cow or one of the smaller bulls that you spotted earlier could have done the same and would have had a higher success rate to help avoid the possibility of the disappointment of an unsuccessful hunt that you were so worried about. Dreaming of 'the big (ger) one that I'll get next year!' is part of the magic, starting out with the 'trophy of a lifetime' just doesn't give your grandson much left to dream about. That aside, I very much enjoyed your article. -Joe [/QUOTE]
