The Colorado Traditional Archer's Society held our annual youth hunt this past weekend. We had four kids, special doe mule deer tags, fresh snow, low temps in the teens, one doe recovered, one lost to coyotes, a few missed shots, great food, great kids and a great time. I think we have a few new lifelong traditional bow hunters too.

It is really special to see a young bowhunter get their first animal.
Was an outstanding time for sure. I'm working on a story with pics as we speak. Congrats again to Jared. Unfortunatley my son Tyler's doe was lost to coyotes :( But he took it like a sport and is determined to do better and also has a vendeta against coyotes now. These four hunters did a lot better than most men. With 6-8" of snow and teens temps in the blind. They hunted hard with no complaints. We have some great kids coming up in the ranks.
This is just awesome. Congrats.! Thanks to those who make it happen!
Good stuff!! :thumbsup:
Woooohoooo!!

Bob (stone sheep): Look at the picture that Mark took inside the cook tent and see who is working and who is sitting next to the stove. :)
Looks like a great time. Good job to all involved.
That is quite awsome, great for the kids, looks like a very nice camp you have set up there for the kids. Bet they will remember that hunt for a long time.
