KNOPHISH,

I took hunters ed at 9 and shot my first bull (spike) 3 months later at 10 . I shot a 30-30 and my range was about 100yds. I guess he made a mistake that day,walking out in front of a 10yr old with a 30-30.

Hell yeah it was hard work,I helped as much as I could,but had friends and family that did most of the work. I did have to skin it myself,that was a chore at 10. My dad had to back the truck up to the tree so I could stand in back to reach the hindquarters.

Later that day my brother shot a 3pt. My brother was 13 at the time. it was the same story for him. Help as much as possible,and skin it out back at camp.

I was one of the youngest in the class,but guess what,I had the best score in my class,I didn't fail a single question. I agree with Dogfish,it's not always about how old you are.
