Default RE: Suggestions/comments for taking a 5yr old

when i took my kids out into the woods at the first sign of bordom i would unload the gun and let the kid lead me through the woods exploring.

doing this helped the child stretch their legs and get their hands dirty...so to speak. after some walking about i would ask them if they wanted to go back and hunt some more.... more often than not they wouldsay yes and i would be good to go for a few hours more. those times that they just wanted to walk the woods... i let them.

just take your time with your daughter and you will have a hunting partner... for life

best of luck to you and your daughter this coming season.

p.s.... go easy on the drink and snack unless you know for a fact that your daughter has no problems with using the woods as a bathroom
