After over 200 comments, not sure I can add anything but I will ask a question...So here's the deal last year was my son's first year to be able to shoot a deer, this year is his second year and he's pumped.
However my mother and father think I am a monster. . . All because I have a couple of rules for him.
Rule #1 no small mulie bucks (our mulie population is low and Forky's are dumber than a box of rocks, let them grow)
#2 until your old enough to sit alone Dad (me) is shooting anything Bigger than what I already have at home!
That's it, those are the only rules. My son is perfectly ok with this because he knows most years I'm not shooting a deer and he's going to get to shoot two bucks and a few does. He also knows in a few more years he will sit by himself and shoot whatever he wants. Basically I don't want to spoil the poor kid if some monster walks out, and I've put in my time and all the work for these spots I deserve a little something right? So let me have it am I jerk if I shoot a trophy buck in front of my kid when he's holding a tag?
For reference his white tail range is doe to about 150 inch deer and his mulie range is mature buck up to 170inch class.
Why is it so important that he not 1-up you and don't you what success for your kid beyond your own?
