I have two boys, 4 1/2 and 2 1/2. It is hard to get away during hunting season, and family is number one. But does that mean we shouldn't be able to go for a few two day trips during the fall? I don't think so. My wife gets out with her friends whenever she wants to and makes plans, and I should be able to hunt here and there.

Let me ask you fellas this: Does the fact that your son plays a sport mean that you have to make it to every game, every week of every sport season? My father hardly made it to any of my games, much less ALL. My son plays soccer in an informal pee wee type of league. Is it a sin if I miss one or two games out of about 8 or 10 while away on a hunting trip?
