My daughter has always hunted and shot with me since she was old enough to handle a weapon. My son (he's 13), however, has shown no interest in either shooting or hunting. Last year, he asked if he could go sit in the stand with me for a day while I was hunting, but told me that he really hoped that I didn't get a shot. I took him and we had some good father-son time.
My daughter is now too old for the youth hunt, but my son surprised me the other day when he told me he wanted to go to the hunter education class so that he could hunt during the youth hunt this year. I am stoked. My daughter and I have a lot of memories of our times together in the woods and I am excited that now my son wants to share in some of those experiences as well.
He made me laugh at the hunter ed course when the instructor said that they would start the test at 3:30 and would have until 5:00 to finish. He whispered to me, "If it takes me that long to finish the test, I don't have any business around guns."
Anybody else taking a kid on the youth hunt?
