I hate to hear that. My father was always there for me and I really appreciated it. Not so much then but now that I am older. I just started hunting myself but one of the first things I did was take my almost 5 year old daughter with me. On that day it wasnt about the hunt, it was about her, I had more fun watching her get excited and hear things in the woods than anything else. I try to be involved, I honestly dont ever want her on this forum with a post like yours. If you Dad isnt involved IM sorry but get past it somehow. It is your dad misssing out, it really is!!! GL man!
