I just want to say that any of you who have kids over the age of 8, and younger at times, that are leaving your kids at home while you hunt, then you are missing out on one of the most rewarding times of your life. I feel so bad for some of the kids I see whose dad will not take them hunting with them, because they might get in the way or have to slow down a little.
We just got back from an AZ trip and I watched my 10 year old shoot his first buck. The look on his face when he killed his 3 year old buck was amazing, and was way better than me killing a 30" buck.
I have taken my boy on archery elk hunts in AZ unit 10 when he was 11, and on a strip hunt when he was 10. I may not have killed the biggest buck or bull in the world, but at 16, he still talks about those hunts. He has always hunted with me since 7 or 8, and now my youngest boy and daughter are experiencing the some memories.
Everybody has the choice to hunt and act the way they want to, but I hope you will all consider taking your children hunting with you. I don't regret it a bit.
I like the saying take a child hunting today, and you will not be hunting for them later.
