Default RE: Little tradition I started this bow season with my kids

ORIGINAL: virginiashadow

I would love to take my daughter Jason...except that my wife is not a huge fan of hunting...she loves that I love it but I don't think she would like my daughter going. Only thing is, Isabel loves to shoot a bow! She always asks me to buy her a faster and better one....my son stalks around in the front yard with his little bow and pretends to shoot a "buck deer" when the arrow really hits a bush! hahahaha! I have a third on the way so looks like it will be years of babies and diapers.
We thought we had a fourth on the way like that. Ended up being a4 and 5.Congrats BTW.

My wife wasn't crazy about my daughter going either. But she's realized both of us love it. I started by taking my daughter out with me just to watch. Generaly in the middle of the day for a short time. Realy not expecting to see anything. After several years of that my wife didn't totaly freak when I said our daughter was going to be the one hunting last year. She was uneasy about her using a gun but she is in 4H shooting sports and shoots all the time and safely. So my wife let her go. Now my wife just rolles her eyes when my daughter and I relive her close encounter with that nice 8 point. LOL I just laugh. I know it will probably be presiously short of a time my daughter will care to go but I want to take advantage of the time I have. Soon enough she won't want anything to do with me. LOL I hope not but girls are weird.
