Speaking from the opposite spectrum there mauser, I can tell you that any time that you can make for your dad will thrill him. Don't get so busy that you lose that time together.I already mentioned taht I lost m Dad last September. He neverwas a hunter, but I took him on a few trips, and bought him some camo, a rifle, etc., and he really looked forward to us doing thi stogether---that was the most important thing. Now, I have thi stime to always remember.I made time for him, and he made time for me.
My oldest and I have hunted together for a while, and we have always made time together, mainly because it is a shared interest. But, I have also coached, taught, trained, played on the same soccer team--Ken Griffey and Griffey Jr like--with him, but my middle son and I haven't been as fortunate to spend the hunting time together. Now he has made the mistake of showing interset, so I am going to kidnap him! I do spend a lot of time with him, just , so far, not hunting---and get this--his name is ---Hunter!!! I did get to take him, and be with him when he shot his first and only deer--a doe--2 years ago, but his interest has been on again, off again. He really is getting some fire with his bow, seeing that he is shooting pretty well. My hope is that he will get tuned in--but if not, I will accomadate him at some other level of interest.
