I wish that article would have mentioned the Mentored Program. The boy can legally hunt now , not have to wait 5 more years. My niece at 10 shot a buck and I know Huntin54 brother shot a nice buck this year at age 7. This is a great program and I try to get as many youths started as I can. I say congrats to the little guy , Im sure he will be hooked for life. The man that past away Wally was a friend of mine and loved the outdoors and hunting. Im sure he was smiling down that day.

Nice story, that was very nice of Ray to give away the hunt
to a youth hunter! Congrats to Hunter on his first deer! Xh,
I was wondering also why the mentor program wasn't mentioned
so that Hunter could be deer hunting this year.

The end of the story states that the boy has to wait 5 more years to hunt? Can't you get a mentored Youth license every year? If not, I didn't know that it was a 1 shot deal ( excuse the pun)

Its every year for the mentored program , this was a High fence hunt so the boy could shoot a doe. The mentor program only allows the youth to harvest bucks right now with the same antler restrictions as a junior hunter.

duh...It said fair chase- so I made an assumption and I didnt' think about the doe...
Thanks...
