Had a muzzy tag this year so didn’t get to hunt all 3 seasons but I ended up passing about 10 different bucks. Ain’t gonna shoot no dinky little guys but I got lucky and had me 3 landowner doe tags. Filled all 3 of them. Shot em all with my great grandpas Remington 30-06 and they were all one shot kills. Not bad for a little fun after school with some buddies!! Just got to fill my cow elk, fall turkey and swan tags now so we’ll see how that goes.

Here is my daughter’s first buck, she worked hard and it paid off! She was thrilled with this buck.

Stepson's Wyoming antelope and mule deer doe.

Lots of practice behind the gun paid off for my youngest son this year. He killed his first antelope and his first bull elk. So proud of my little guy! No one else I'd rather hunt with than my boys!

DIYhunter · Nov 16, 2021

Another good year in our home state of NM. A muzzleloader pronghorn, a public land muzzleloader bull in a tough unit, off range oryx, and a NM Rio!

Daughters 3rd and biggest buck. A little pre season scouting, and a little luck put us home opening day in time for breakfast.

Goosefever · Nov 16, 2021

This doesn't count. I shot it with my .410 but she swears she backed me up. I gave her credit.

4orMore · Nov 17, 2021

My 12 year old son drew his first tag of his life this year and made an amazing shot on this beautiful bull. It was a great year of "firsts" for us. Special thanks to a great friend that helped make it all happen.

Airborne · Nov 17, 2021

12 Year old Daughter's first hunt. We trained all summer hiking, camping, and shooting. We packed in with mules for 7 days into the High Uintas Wilderness. She hiked 5-10 miles a day looking for receptive elk. Up early, never complained, never quit, lived on mountain house meals, always a positive attitude. Connected on this bull on day 6. She's a badass!

Granby Guy · Nov 17, 2021

14 year old beat the draw odds in Colorado. He saw 73 moose and passed on over 30 bulls before pulling the trigger on this guy.

CEG · Nov 17, 2021

My 2021 Wyoming buck me and my dad only had one day to deer hunt and we made the most of it

Tristate · Nov 17, 2021

This year I've turned my son loose. Time for him to make his own mistakes. He found this deer. Killed it with a single shot. Skinned it himself. I miss hunting with him this year but he will learn better if I let him make his own choices.

GunSlinger · Nov 18, 2021

My boys had a great year hunting on the general season hunts in Utah. Ty had a great muzzle loader deer hunt. He made up for a missed shot on this buck when be put a perfect shot on him just before he slipped over a ridge. Bryce was able to harvest his first bull on opening morning of the general season spike hunt.

NOPAZ · Nov 25, 2021

My daughter's first year of hunting. NM pronghorn and mule deer. It was a great year. The best part was that I had a blast spending some time with her.

Tristate · Nov 26, 2021

That is waaaaaaaaay cool!

kylesredapple · Nov 27, 2021

Yesterday, my 12 year old made a 222 yard shot. So proud of her!

Robiland · Nov 28, 2021

Fisher shot his 1st archery buck this year, and his 3rd buck in all. A 2x3 with a cheater, making it a 2x4, and he was so excited. I couldn't go, but his uncle Hawkeye took him.

Robiland · Nov 28, 2021

My other boy, Lance got his 1st buck this year. After 2 misses on very nice 4 point bucks, on the last morning we decided to take this cool looking little buck.

Helluva first post

elks96 · Nov 28, 2021

My boy age 11. Montana Deer tag… First whitetail. The buck was bloody as all get out from a fight the night before. We spotted him about 1.5 miles on private and slow played him and a doe for over an hour until we got a shot. At one point the buck was 49 yards away in the trees but we waited until he passed and took the shot at 110 yards. One clean kill shot from his 243 drt. 2 shots and 2 dead animals.

He works harder than most men.

Outdoordan · Nov 28, 2021

We spent the night packing meat last night. First Elk for her.

Kevin Carlson sent over these photos. He writes, "Cache worked here s little butt off hiking on his first deer hunt. He just turned 10 and decided he wanted to use a 6.5 creedmoor to take his first deer at 160 yards. We got him a tag through the Idaho passport program and he loved it! Not the biggest buck he will ever get but an awesome memory made."

A few pics of my 11 yr old grandson from this past week.

Morelk · Dec 7, 2021

My 15 year old had a season I couldn't have even dreamed of at that age

live4muleys · Dec 8, 2021

New Mexico Public Land Whitetail. This was my sons first deer tag.

lseacrist · Dec 15, 2021

My 12 year old had a pretty good season in California.

BlackBear53 · Dec 15, 2021

Can beat that reaction. The littles first deer.

Swivelneck · Dec 17, 2021

My eldest son, CJ (13) had a great 2021 hunting season!
He got it started with a nice Jake taken on public land at Lake Sonoma during the spring season.
He put the icing on the cake by taking his second ever Blacktail on Friday afternoon of the last weekend of season. A week of stormy weather had the bucks chasing and he and grandpa spotted this wide fella while making their way into camp from the main road. The fellas gave him a goodhearted bad time for being the first guy to ever kill a buck there while wearing hoop shorts!
He had a close call with a couple B-Zone dandy's later in the year, but buck fever got the better of him. He is already counting the days until next season when he can hopefully get another crack at those big boys!
I am sure all of you other proud dad's and grandad's agree, but hunting with my boys and seeing them develop a love for hunting, the outdoors and all things wild has truly surpassed any personal accomplishments I have had hunting. I hope we are blessed with many more great adventures in the future.
Cheers to all of you that are helping the next generation get started!

COPLAINSHNTR · Dec 21, 2021

I'm late to the party as usual. This is my oldest son's second year of hunting and it is his second Trifecta. Very proud of this young man!
