Good one Sniper! Is that a Pee Dee buck?

Hey Biggs, in SC there is no limit on bucks, does on does days or with doe tags.

Robby, my 9½ year old, wants to go hunting; some kid at school has been talking to him about it. We don't have a riffle or anything for him to use or any of the hunting gear. What does he need in order to go? Should I even let him go at his age? I don't care if he goes, but I know he's really immature ........ I watched him at Boy Scout camp with a BB gun in his hand, turning around with the gun aimlessly pointing at people while he talked to his friends. ha Should have seen him with the friggin bow & arrow!

actually the limt is 5 bucks, 2 does per day but i hunt several differnt game zonews so i can kill alot more than that my best year and this is letting some deer walk; was 19 that was 13 bucks and 6 does. the smallewst buck was a 4 point. Sam i would not let him go unless you really knew and trusted the person he was with h edoesnt need a gun. not yet. he needs to go a few times and let him decide on his ownif he likes it or not. talking about it is one thing. being out there doing it is something else. Who would he be going with? I have a little cousin that is 10 and he shoots a .243 rifle. its strong enough to kill a deer but not strong enough to kill his shoulder lol.

edit oh and goose i killed him in lynchburg i saw 8 deer a cow horn a 4 point, him and the rest were does and fawns. all of them came out of the field except him lol he had been laying in the beanfield.

Hey sweetz, I've been hunting since I was 8, but I didn't take a gun, my dad did. I killed my first one when I was 10 with a single shot .410 shotgun. The key is knowing the good from the bad, especially with guns; where and when to load and point.

I've gone in my blue jeans, boots and a black shirt - it all depends on how quiet you are. I've hunted deer three ways, still hunting (sitting in a tree stand), dog driving (turn a pack of dogs on a deer's trail) and stalking - I suck at the third mind you, my feet are too damn big.
