Nine-year-old Brandon Campbell with his muzzleloader doe
Nine-year-old Brandon Campbell scored with his .50 caliber muzzleloader on opening morning while hunting with his father, James. This is Brandon's second deer.
I continue to be impressed with the pictures and reports I'm getting from adult hunters who are spending their time in the woods with youngsters this season. I know the sample size is so small it's hard to call this an official trend. But maybe we are at a point where more adults are investing in the future. I hope so because we need it.
Brandon! Brandon! Brandon!
Waaaay to go!

Great going Brandon! Be sure to thank your dad for taking the time to teach you about the wonderful sport of hunting. Great shot by the way. You must have a lot of hunting desire to subject yourself to getting throttled by a muzzleloader. I hope your success continues throughout the rest of the season.

Great job Brandon! That's a nice doe and on opening morning too, that's about as good as it gets. I know your Dad's proud. Good luck the rest of the season.
