we've been shooting all summer. just got a two person ladder stand. she is ready for the mystical flight of the arrow! she is 6, and mad the state won't let her shoot at a deer yet. just have to tighten up the group a bit. not be out done, my 4 year old got a couple shots in also. we are still working on form. my 6 year old will go on one hunt a week until the cold sets in, or the homework isn't done. __________________ united bowhunters of nj nj fur harvesters monroeville

nothing more rewarding than being in the woods with the young ones.. Every deer I have arrowed with my kids on stand are always remembered as the best hunts and I have been on some guided hunts all along the eastern seaboard

Thats awesome. My Dad used to put me in a four point harness when I was as young as 5 and pull me up 25ft+ into trees to watch him bowhunt. I would sit right next to him in a double set hang on. I can still vividly remember the first time I saw him shoot a deer with his bow! He fell asleep net to me and I tapped him on the shoulder to tell him a deer was coming. He got ready and smoked the doe. First time I ever saw a deer die, and ive been hooked since! __________________ "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

I love it when Dads include their little girls in their hunting life style, but I have to ask, are you sure a little girl of 6 is ready to see a deer go down. As we all know it can be an unpleasant experience and I just wouldn't want her to get off to a bad start. I am in no way trying to discourage you, I'm a women bow hunter myself. We need more girls/women in the woods.

My wife saw the treestand pics and just rolled her eyes. I have a 1 1/2 year old daughter, and she will be out in the woods as soon as she is old enough. Good luck with yours! __________________ NRA Life Member FMBA Local 42
