Went out this evening with my 15 yr. old for his last youth hunt. After waiting for about an hour and a half we finally saw our target at about 180 yards. She was a pretty big doe with a couple of yearlings that were old enough to be on their own. After watching them for about half an hour going in and out of the corn they finally moved into a shooting lane at a shootable distance. The first shot from the H&R single shot 20 ga. clean missed, but they had no idea where it came from. All four deer, a year and a half old buck had joined them, walked cautiously right back into the shooting lane. The second shot hit it's mark, but the shot was low and back a little too far. The doe circled right in front of us and laid down and died. I'll try to get a pic of the boy with her up tomorrow......we ran out of light and the skeeters were terrible.....not to mention that the knife that he brought didn't get sharpened from last year. My son.....Benjamin Eric Smith The small buck leading the way through our shooting lane. A view of from the treestand.....mission accomplished.

You're absolutely right.......he has a belt and I don't like it. I bought a vest for myself this year, but they are quite expensive. We have another harness.........somewhere......I guess the belt is better than nothing.

You might have to alter it some to get it to fit.
