We take her almost everywhere with us. We want her to see us all as a family unit and identify with what we do. We also take her with us when we go out for nachos, etc. I'm not old enough to drink, but she enjoys going up and "dancing" with daddy if the band isn't too loud up close.
She really enjoys going out in the woods with us. There's always something different to see. And we try to show her stuff and tell her about it. My mom babysits for us but only if my husband is working or I'm in school. Otherwise she's with us.
We get really irate when we go out to the range and never see any kids there. How do people expect to pass shooting and hunting along to their kids if they don't let them take part in it?
I could go on with this rant, but I had better stop.

That would have made me so mad, this one time i went out for supper with my older cousin and my two aunties and some of my younger cousins . My older cousin and auntie's are super tall, so I looked tiny and the kids were smaller then me and the guy who was working, wasn't all there and i am sure he was on something but anyway, he said, 'three kids and three adults!' My mouth dropped instantly, I was very offended. Yeah, i agree. Around where I live I have a very hard time finding girls or even guys who hunt as much as i do. I know guys don't like girls who hunt lots because they can't go out with their buddies without us wanting to go but that's not the case. We need someone to go out hunting with too and if i hunt more then the guys do around here what am i gonna do? Be stuck by myself hunting, I do agree everyone needs their time alone. But you have to respect the females who are out here hunting just as hard or harder then the guys. After all, we need hunting to keep passing down for generations.
I don't know if it's just me but if you want to set me off or make me mad all you have to say is hunting is cruel. Those people drive me insane, with all this hunting is bad stuff. It irritates me so much and I just wish they would understand our point of view. After all, if our ancestors didn't hunt they wouldn't have been alive and either would we. Also, hunting keeps the population down which helps maintain diseases that could get spread and it helps farmers out a lot because here you always get farmers calling you to come shoot geese off of their crops or farmers looking for someone who hunts elk because they are trampolining the crops.
