[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 2313871, member: 96251"] Also this past weekend was our youth doe season . So I can’t post the pic because of legal reasons but I took a young man 13 yrs old hunting for the first time . I told him before we left the house that it was doe only and I’d bet money we’d see a nice buck . Well 30 mins in and we had a 8 point at 45 yards feeding around in front of us . Lol . Over the next 2 hrs we had 4 bucks in front of us and the one was an 11 point with a freaking drop tine . He should have been around a 135 inch buck . Pretty nice for a Wv buck. Finally after four separate bucks decided to parade around in front of us a good sized doe decides to come out. He was shaking so bad he couldn’t hold still . Now remember he’s a bad @$$ teenager he looks at me and says I’m freezing that’s why I’m shaking . So after another 1/2 hr I got him pretty calm and settled down the doe finally cleared away from the 4 bucks and he made an awesome shot. Granted it was only 30 yards but still I was beginning to think the way he was shaking he’d miss completely. Afterwards I explained to him that the shaking was adrenaline and it’s the body’s way of dealing with it . He still wouldn’t have no part of the he was excited. This kids been thru the wringer. Me and my wife over a year ago became foster parents and he’s our third child to come into our home . I’ve spent a lot of time teaching him firearm safety this past summer while taking him shooting . With the granted permission from the state .He does very well thus far . As I said he acts all tough and bad cause he don’t want us to see that he’s got emotions but I believe that I may get him to see it’s ok by hunting. Sorry for such a long post [/QUOTE]
