Great story and experience, thanks for sharing.
I agree with taking kids hunting, It may take away from your own hunting time, but the rewards are worth the cost. I savor every opportunity to take my little boys into the woods, and drag my cousins kids along whenever possible. The healthy benefits of getting them outside, hooking themon a hobby that teaches them patience and self realiance, and giving them something tooccupy their time and minds other than getting into trouble, will help them make positive life choices for years to come. I get more excited when they take a game animal than when I kill something myself. The size of the horns or the rug seem to matter less than the experience of being there to give a kid a memory that will last them forever.
