A high school buddy of mine took his youngest son and a couple of his friends on a 3 day hunt on an Antebellum Era Plantation in Claiborne County, Mississippi this past weekend. I'll just lead into his story and follow with pics...
David: "The funny thing is that we were crammed into our car on the ride to Port Gibson. Emma, as the lone girl, somehow got to ride "shotgun". I declared that "shotgun", on the trip home, would have to be earned. The person to harvest the largest deer, as measured by rack size, would win the "shotgun" postion on the trip home. Thirty minutes after arriving at camp, Emma (and the other two) suit up for a quick hunt. Within 30 minutes Emma has the winning buck on the ground. Yes this is her first deer ever!"
15yr old Emma with her first deer, a NICE 9pt! WAY TO GO EMMA!!!! Psst: How'd you get by with this one and not get bloodied????
Edit: Dad says Emma got plenty bloodied she just got away with no pics of it!

Not to be outdone, her 18yr old brother Jackson brought this nice 8pt down the next day:

Not one for getting skunked, 15yr old Adam finally got his 8pt on the closing morning of the 3 day hunt:

I hope this is the first of many successful hunts for these kids, I give my friend David the "Extra Effort In Parenting" award for gettin' it done! I know he is proud beyond words! I would be!
