CO Youth Hunt w/pics

kadbow · October 10, 2011, 02:03:00 PM

The Colorado Traditional Archer's Society (CTAS) puts on a youth hunt every year (this year we did two) and I was lucky enough to be a mentor for the hunt this past weekend. The hunt is for mule deer does. One deer was killed at the first hunt an none were killed at the hunt I was on. It was tough hunting conditions this past weekend. The cold weather made it hard for the kids to sit long in a blind and the frozen crunchy snow made stalking hard. Still there were a couple shots and several close calls. A good time was had by all and hopefully we have a few more trad hunters among our ranks. Here are a few pics.

Kudos to you and CTAS, Mark!

What a great start for some young folks to be mentored and to realize that "wackin' em" isn't the reality of the hunter but that the natural world is full of hit or miss.

Any venue that gets youngsters into the woods is commendable.

I hope so Joseph. Although a cool picture, I think everybody knows that "busted" feeling.
