There was one spot next to the river we mined, a farmer planted feed corn and oats on it. It attracted quite a few Pheasants that often flew over his fence into the river
and than there were the Quail I could chase on the mine site with the skip loaders just for fun 
They have a place but for me I like light and fast. I want heavy, I want Barrett! And lord knows there is a place for big heavy rifles. But these students likely had zero hours in practice, then tried to hold up big heavy F style (satire) heavy rifles standing unsupported! Heavy means supported! Great group but sometimes folks just don’t know what they don’t know. Reckon that is why we teach! That’s why you guys on this forum line our wheels when we ask why can’t I paint the engine bay black!
Hah! An engine bay only a racer could love. Absolutely nuthin in there that don’t make car go forward! You would love the dash John, it is fiberglass as well! Toggle switches for the win! Sometimes I drive it to car shows and the parents can’t believe I let their kids sit in it. I strap them in and let them ham it up for the camera. I mean seriously….what can they possibly hurt? The roll bar? I guess they could pull the pin on fire suppression? The kids absolutely love being able to sit in it. I need to add some pretend wipers! I added some harvest bin lights in front cause they were round. They pass muster on a quick walk by at car shows for the guys with badges, the guys with score sheets, not so much! Hah!
Almost that time of year again. I’ll be taking the kids out this weekend.
I should try it sometime, but I can't be still that long
Pardon my ignorance, but I am not a hunter. First, I would have thought that the stand would be much higher off the ground. Second, what is youth deer season? Is there a separate season specially for taking your kids hunting?
This one is not very high because the longest shot is only about 60 yards. If I went really high, I’d have to shoot nearly straight down or at a very steep angle. The one deeper on my property is 10’ off the ground but I can shoot potentially out to 200 yards.
Ok that is just super cool. Heirloom for sure!
Not sure of the power but I could easily see holes in targets at 100 yards with it.
Thanks. I never went hunting or fishing as a kid, so I never got into it. I really think it is great for a father and son to have something they can do together.
That is one true statement right there. I also work for Game and Fish as a Hunters Education Instructor. I cannot tell you how many Fathers and Sons or Daughters come to class as a pair. The parent and often times the grandparent will sit thru the class with their little one. It is just the coolest thing ever. Right up until little Johnny starts asking very direct questions over legality scenarios! Children think in straight lines with no guile. The “what if” questions are classic. You can see the adult squirm on occasion. The questions are far too detailed to not be based on real life, usually they are around duck hunting or road deer hunting. I simply answer the question and figure the rest is up to them to sort out at home! The question usually starts with “What if you stop the truck when you see the deer and get out of the truck before you shoot is that ok?” Only thing missing is hold my beer!
Super congrats and thank you so much for throwing in to help. You will find most every guy or girl at our level as Instructors simply wants to teach and could care less about the politics. Again just a great big ok thank you to ya! You won’t regret it. It is a lot of fun.
