2017 will be the first year that I take my son out with me hunting. My initial plan is to let him go and sit in a blind with me as long as he can handle it then leave. I have no doubt that he will want to deer hunt with me as he gets older, 10/11/12...
He enjoys the outdoors and loves the idea on hunting and fishing. He has become a pretty good fisherman using a spinning reel since he was 6. The only thing that could be an issue is the sit without seeing anything and where I hunt it is no guarantee you will see deer. He is still a young boy who loves his video games and has the attention span of a flea.
Some guys I work with that live in Alabama and Georgia have had their sons hunting since age 6. I am looking to buy him a gun that he could handle this year at 9 if he shows the capability of sitting for 2-3 hours, if not one that would serve him well through his early teens.
I was thinking about looking at the .243. I saw a nice Rem 700 combo at wally world that was a youth model. I would think that would take him into his early teens right? Then I am sure he will want something along the .308 line since that is what I shoot.
Anyone else have a son or daughter who is young and shoots a .243? I have never shot one so I have no clue how they feel.
