[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2283325, member: 106514"] I thought you Dallas might be primitive hunting unless they had a special youth hunt. I'm guessing you guys live in Kansas, or really close. I recall my time there in Sept. on a primitive hunt I considered a "bucket list" hunt. Not too long ago. Everything you described brought back the memories. It was 98 degrees in the afternoon of the day I took mine, but before the sun got up good on top of the mesa, the mosquitos waged war like it was in a South Carolina swamp. And yes, walking in and stalking to get down wind definitely required long pants! I shot high, just like your son, hitting the spine in my case. And when you talk about the drag and processing... getting a nigh-300 lb, 6 1/2 yo whitetail out of a canyon and completely deboned is an experience all unto itself. Like many, I suspect, I never had anybody to take me on an adventure anything like what you just did for your son. It wasn't until I was right at 40yo that I could even get myself on a hunt of that nature. Always remind him of the blessings he has and to give thanks and have an admiration for every day he spends afield whether successful at bagging game or not, every animal he sees, and every moment together with you and the rest of the family. That said, he'll be a legend at school, so teach him to handle the fame well!😉 Also to the last thing you said, yes, getting old is the worst! Teach that young man to never do it!😆 Eating good foods that God has provided, getting enough sleep, saying his prayers, minding his mom and dad, and staying outdoors working (and playing) where there is some sweating involved, and getting some down time doing what he loves will keep him young well into his 90s! I did none of those things and got old in half that time!🤣 Man, if I had it to do over again! Congratulations to the young hunter, and to his dad for being a real man and giving of himself to ensure the well being of this child and those for generations to come because they will have a blueprint of what family life, responsibility, and love looks like! Drive on!! [/QUOTE]
