Back in the saddle again

[Bwana]

My youngest boy really enjoys archery and has been asking alot of questions about deer hunting with a bow lately so my wife tells me I really should take him hunting. Now what better excuse to get back into it then that? I can't quite remember but I think the last time I bowhunted was before the boy was born.

This weekend we decided to give it a go and low and behold things worked out. At least my new bowhunting good luck charm was happy with the results.

Dad and his new archery buddy:

Bwana:

Thanks for sharing, but most importantly, thanks for taking the time to make another youngster part of the hunting family.

My teenage son spent many days like that and now he is hooked. Your return on the time investment will be greater than you could ever expect, and you are having the time of your life in the process.

Congrats to you and your son.

Great job on the hunt and the being a good Dad.

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

I am lucky that all my kids enjoy hunting so far. Then again I have been dragging them all out since they were 1.5 to 2 years old on hunts of one kind or another including turkey, goose, pheasants, deer, coyote calling, etc. After one of the coyote calling trips I told their mother I wanted her to make little bunny constumes for them. Figured that would be a way to put their wiggling to good use but Mom wasn't impressed with the idea.

Anyway, I hope they remember our trips enough so that when I am old and decrepid they will haul me out on a hunt or two with them.
