New user. HI!

[aroflinger]

Hi everyone I'm new on here and hope to learn a lot about elk hunting. My dad said he would take me elk hunting when I graduate. I'm only 13 now but I learn things quickly.

hello. nice to see them starting young! I bet that going to be a long 5 years

[aroflinger]

WOW! Thank you for answering my post so quickly. Yes, it will be a long time and I hope to learn a lot from experienced people during my wait.

Hello good to have you. Start putting in for those hard zone that need a lot of preferences points. that way your still young when you get drawing. Just my 2 cents.

[aroflinger]

My preferred points now are just field and target points. Dad won't let me mess with sharp ones yet. But thanks for the pointer. I'll ask him about it this evening.

[Indian Summer]

That was funny. What he meant aroflingr was points toward drawing elk licenses. You can start collecting points now so that when you graduate you will have a good chance of drawing a good tag in places where you can't just buy them every year.

Here's a question for your dad... try to remember this word for word "Dad, why do I have to wait until I'm more interested in cars and girls before I can go elk hunting?"

Here's my niece. 13 years old at the time.

Oh OK! Sorry I had the wrong idea about points. Thank you Mr. Ferraro.

[Indian Summer]

It's Joe to you man.

Welcome aboard by the way. Glad you found us. Stick around... ask a bunch of questions, and by the time you're going hunting you'll have a pretty good idea of what you're doing.

You can buy bonus points on the internet in Wyoming for $50 between July 1 and September 30. Tell your dad you have the master plan coming together with the help of a few new connections.

Ivan, welcome to 'the' elk forum. Glad to have you around the campfire.

[Elkduds]

Ivan, good to have you with us. What is your favorite thing about hunting?

[mrganser]

Welcome Ivan! Feel free to ask questions of us. There is a lot of experience on here & we are glad to share it with young hunters.

[Trophyhill]

I could only wish I started hunting so young. (Dad wasn't a hunter) starting at your age is a huge advantage. You found the right place for info. I've learned a ton from a lot of these guys. Some from other forums before this site existed but sure glad Paul started this forum. Good luck with your elk education

[Deafirishman]

Welcome to the forum. Nothing but great people on here with A LOT of knowledge about elk hunting and among other things. You started looking at the right place and at the right age. My daughter is also 13 and I will be taking her out on her first elk hunt for her 16th birthday. Best of luck in gathering all the right information !!

Welcome to the forum Ivan. I was gone a few days , so I was just a lurker. I was looking forward to welcoming you. Find a good comfortable place around the campfire. Just don't expect me to bring you juice and cookies. You will have to serve yourself. Keep a close eye on RJ as he can be a little shifty. He will move your seat to where you are in the smoke or try some other annoying stunt.

Glad to have you aboard Aroflinger. Looks like you are off to a good start on your elk hunting adventures.

[baddaddy]

Welcome Ivan! What part of the country do you hail from. Start asking for Elknuts playbooks and videos for Christmas and your birthday. These items will help you a lot.

Enjoy all the great info and most of all have fun !!
