Thanx for the nice comments guys.Ya it is great and very rewarding.In a couple of years my boy will be better in the woods then me.
I started taking him in the woods when he was 4 i think and he can already identify deer tracks,bear tracks and others,he recognises scrapes and rubs and the principals behind them.
2 years ago i taught him how to gut out a deer(didn't like the smell--lol).I got it during rifle season and he was sitting right beside me when i got it,talk about excited[:-]
Forgot to mention,did you ever meet a 9 year old who can skin out a deer(with help of course)
Heres a little humour----------he said yesterday on the scouting trip---someday dad when your old and cant hunt alone,i'll pick you up if mom says it o.k and take you hunting,cause were buddies right(tears in eyes)
