I have 2 boys (8 and 2) that I love spending time with. I took my 8 year old out squirrel hunting with me this year and he loved it!!! I think I will get him a bow next year and let him start shooting. I show up to my son's soccer games in camo. You should see some of the looks I get. I really don't care because I would NEVER miss one of his games. I just compromise. My wife is awesome about me hunting (for the most part). She knows how much it means to me. My family is and always will be #1 on my priority list. My wife does not give me any grief when it comes to hunting because she knows that I put my family first, and if that means not hunting in the morning/evening that's ok. I know that there will always be time to hunt. My kids will not always be young.
