A lesson in Self Reliance- Fen's First Deer Hunt

There are many milestones in a hunter's life. But going deer hunting for the first time is one you'll always remember. Fen turned 10 this year which is the minimum age for hunting big game in Idaho. He's put in the time to pass hunter's ed and has a pocket full of tags. After spending some time shooting the rifle (7mm-08) we get up early and head to one of the neighboring farms to see if we can find any whitetails in the ag fields. I sometimes get comments from well meaning but naïve folks who think hunting is a cruel, antiquated activity motivated by bloodlust. But when you live close to the land as we do, hunting is a way of life. It's how we feed ourselves, with wild game, and stay grounded in the life and death struggles that happen all around us. In our house, we value self reliance.

Nothing better in the world than a father that loves his kids and teaches them how to hunt with passion, restraint, and ethics. My younger son is the same age as Fen and I just love looking at his freckled smile in his hunting adventures with dad. Thanks for sharing.

I have been plantbased for 12 years, just cannot take part in animal agriculture. I passed my Danish hunting license earlier this year and just started going out with my dad and can now call me a 3rd generation hunter. :) Even got a pigeon on the very first trip and ate it the same evening. It doesn''t matter if you're 10 or 70 I guess, it is such a meaningful experience to hunt on the same grounds as your elders and learn and bond. I am 37. :) thanks for another great video, Clay. Learning much.

The best moment in this is when he's trying to decide buck or doe and asks "What would have more meat on it?" Thats fantastic that he thought of that first. I had my son hunting last October on his 10th birthday for a deer, and he ended up with a doe at 120ish yards after a couple failed stalks, one shot, and she was down with a 257 Roberts. Such a rewarding experience with your kid to get their first deer. I haven't had so much fun in a long time. My nephew got his first a day or two later on the same hunt. Pretty rewarding to see the smiles on those little guys.

@devinmckee5463
@devinmckee5463 Год назад
When you asked Flynn if he wanted to shoot the doe or wait another day for a buck and Flynn’s question was “which has more meat?” That was most wholesome and perfect response. He has learned and understands that it’s not about the sport of shooting an animal but about the genuine reasoning to why we hunt. Hunting in its truest form. Great job, Mr. Hayes. That really touched me. Thank you for sharing.

It started to take off running and I started screaming and hollering and it stopped right and it's tracks and it turned around to look at me and I shot it through the side and it came out the throat. Again proud of you

Great video! This year our 8 year old grandson harvested his first and second deer in our PA archery season with a crossbow. He got a doe on opening day and an 8 point buck on Oct 14. His first calls were to his mother. I had the great pleasure of mentoring him on both occasions. He shoots a longbow, but too light of one for deer. At age 70 this has been my best archery season ever and I have not even drawn my longbow yet.

Soo cool to see people getting their young kids out hunting. Some of my best memories as well as my two boys have been days in the field hunting. They also started at 10 years old but have been shooting ever since they could safely handle a firearm and follow direction. Their first successful hunts included deer, turkey as well as 3 banded geese. Don't know who was more happy and proud them or me. Great video, and congratulations Fen

One of the best things you can teach a young hunter, aside from gun safety, is not to get over-excited and to take a shot they don't feel comfortable with. Fantastic decisions. If he'd got that down now he's going to make a great and ethical hunter as he comes into his stride. Well done :)
