Just made a deal with my son this morning. He'll be a freshmen next year and school has always been something he has to work at. So we made a deal, B's or higher all 4 years and a graduation. For his graduation present he get's our first guided Colorado bowhunt for elk. I better start saving...

Well done dad! Man something like that and I may have tried in school! :dunno:
Sounds like an excuse so you can go:)
:thumbsup:
Sounds like a win, win, win!
Good deal to make!

X2!!!!
I just graduated college and got all B's and higher can I go too? :goldtooth:
That will be awesome for you and your son to go on after he graduates, man all I got for graduation was a cheap dell that constantly gets viruses lol.
Best of luck to you both on the elk hunt!

At least you have four years to save up! Sounds like a good deal!
Jeremy that is awesome.
Obviously, you know that you are not in a "pickle", you're in a dream!
My son and I have been bow hunting together since he was 12.(he's 40 and he does all the heavy lifting now!) I never regretted a minute spent scouting or hunting with him. His sons have recently begun rifle hunting with some success and we've had a couple of 3 generation bowhunts(which was one of my dreams!). My granddaughter on the other side just hunted for the first time this last fall and I gave her a deer rifle for Christmas. Every one of the family shoots a bow and I am confident most will try bowhunting when they can. I wish you the same joy.
Lived in Colorado for 12 years. It is heaven for a bow hunter. Savor the experience.
Having graduated from college and taught at the University level, give him a little break. Let him take 5 years if he needs to. ;-)

:thumbsup: Trust me......goals are a good thing!!
Can I be your son?....lol very nice deal that definitely will have him working
You go guys!! You can both do it!! :notworthy:
What a great carrot! Sounds like a triple crown!
Son gets good grades, you get to hunt elk, and you get to do it with your son!
Can't see a down side except the check writing.
:thumbsup:
An opportunity worth supporting.
:archer:
Yeah, I think I'm going to have to put my money where my mouth is on this one. He's already looking for outfitters...
-Jeremy :coffee:
Haha thats awesome :D like others have said before, i dont see a down side to that...ive always enjoyed hunting/fishing with my dad. even though he's still alive, his job moved him across the country and we dont get that opportunity any more. I miss him every hunting season. Congrats on the good deal and enjoy the time with your son. :thumbsup:
The best money you will ever spend. Good luck to both of you.
It goes by fast. My boy and I have been side by side in the outdoors his whole life. I'm taking him on a drop camp hunt next fall for his graduation present. He will graduate this spring and I already miss him.
That's awesome! I got 14 years to save if I do the same deal with my son. If I haven't elk hunted by then, I definitely will!
Yep - some teenagers need the carrot dangled to get them motivated. Told my son he would be walking to school or be getting dropped off by mom in the mini-van, because there would be no car until his grades got better. That's all it took, grades shot up quickly. His problem is a big case of lazy. I'm going to have to try the guided hunt scenario, then I can join in on the fun too.
