Default RE: Hunting with children

Take the time to point out all of the small things in the woods to her that she might not notice otherwise, like deer tracks, lightning struck trees, coyote tracks, etc. Show her neat little tricks like how to find wich way is North, how to measure the height of a tree using shadows and sticks, and other things you were taught as a kid. If she likes wildlife, take along a pair of binoculars and look at all of the different kinds of birds that are in the woods. Also, make sure you are a good model of hunting safety. Chances are she will be watching your every move. If you do that and keep her from getting too hungry or thirsty you might have yourself a new hunting partner.

Good luck and have fun!
