John,

I wish you the best of luck with your son. It absolutely has so much to due with an individual's luck if you want to call it that. My daughter has spent many hrs on stand over the last 3 yrs with this being the first good shot she's had. On the other hand, her 9 yr old brother inevitably sees deer probably 75% of the time and has had numerous shots. I tell him regularly that he doesn't know how lucky he is to get the opportunities he does. He reminds me that God is one that presents the opportunities. I guess he has a point!
