BROWN COUNTY (WLUK) — This weekend marked the youth deer hunt season across Wisconsin, bringing families out together in the wilderness.
While the 2024 deer hunting season will be out in full force later this year, early October presents a great opportunity for hunters like Ty Rabas and his 10-year-old son, Mack.
“It brings me a lot of joy and excitement to pass on what my dad showed me to him and my other little guy and the other one behind him,” said Ty Rabas.
The father and son duo were trekking on public land in Brown County on Sunday during the youth deer hunt, hoping to find the perfect buck.
Mack already harvested a buck last month in Michigan.
“At the end of the day it’s like, it feels like you’re not gonna get anything but then like they come in like right before the sun sets,” said Mack Rabas.

Mack made the tough decision to choose deer hunting over Green Bay Packers football — and is happy to spend time with dad.
“I just like spending time with him, he teaches me a lot of things when we go out into the woods,” said Mack Rabas.

Wisconsin’s youth deer hunt offers hunters 15 years and younger the chance to learn the techniques of hunting.
Lukas Mounce’s 7-year-old daughter, Maliyah, harvested this eight point buck on Saturday in the Fox Valley, her first in her young hunting career.
“I’m really proud that I got that buck, and my little brother, he really really wants to go hunting with me,” said Maliyah Mounce.
For Lukas, he’d describe that moment with his daughter as special.
“Her eyes said it all when she found it. I mean, she just whipped around and her eyes were as big as pie plates and, I mean, that was the most exciting part for me,” said Lukas Mounce.

Whether you come home with a trophy buck or empty-handed, hunting is all about the memories you make along the way.
Exposing the Big Game 
None of these little monsters ever considered the animals looked better alive. No they’re taught that they have to kill and own it for the creature to have any value. It’s sickening.
I wonder why you never hear any stories of kids backing down from killing, because I’m sure there’s plenty. I would even feel slightly better knowing that some feel revolted by their actions. But I guess that having an independent thought, compassion and a conscience isn’t considered tough or interesting and doesn’t fit their desired narrative.
