My kids are young (3, 4, and 5). But I try to involve them as much as I can.
They already shoot a compound bow (Cartel Mini with a whisker biscuit set at 9 lbs). I let them shoot with me when I practice in the back yard.
If I get a deer, the kids love it when I hang it from the monkey bars on their swing set to drain / age before processing. The wife doesn't care for it, but the kids think it's cool!
I'll let them help mefind a dead deer, if it's a heavy, short blood trail that's easy to follow.
My son has a Rudolph deer that he "stalks" around the house and pretends to shoot with his bow. He then loads it up in the back of his plastic dump truck and drives it to his room. It's hillarious
.
And every time my kids see any guy with long hair they ask if that's "Uncle Ted."
I can't wait to get them in a blind with me.
3,4,5! DAMN DUDE!! sounds like you were a little busy for a couple of years. anyway, thats an awsome story. especially when loads him in the dump truck.i bought my 4 yr old daughter an electronic turkey call here recently. i think it is a cass creek or something like that, got on clearance for like 10 bucks. she calls it her turkey phone.she takes one of my old decoys and slips on her head like a hat. then run and guns around the house calling turkeys with her "phone".
