My son is 9 yo. He's been going hunting with me since he was 6, but until this year it was mostly walking in the woods and riding the ATV. This year he sat quietly with me for a few hours at a time and we got a deer together. He is showing a great deal of interest now.
He will be able to deer, bear, and turkey hunt here in NY when he turns 12. We will be ramping up the bow and rifle practice this year to start preparing to hunt.
We talk about hunting big game out of state - all the usual - pronghorn, elk, moose, bear, sheep, goat. We'd likely enjoy hunting any mammal. I know very little about hunting out-of-state, but I know it can take years to draw tags for some of the popular and rare big game.
So which hunts/locations should I be planning? Why? In particular, which hunts should I be "buying points" now?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
