manuman... that's absolutely incredible!!!

I guess since my oldest son is four and I know it won't be long until we start sharing some memories together in the woods, this really had me captivated! Thanks for sharing!

Well, at least you had fun...

My son is 15, and he was my first born, although he has an older adopted brother,and a younger one.The other 2 need no motivation,but there is somethjing differnet about the first born, not a preferential difference, but jsut a differentperspective due tohis status.I have always wanted us to hunt together, but for whatever reason, he hasn't shown a lot of interest until now---and you'll never gues his name--Hunter!!! Just spending this time together( something that us father's can only understand)and it still being exciting inspite of a little sapling getting in the way of a kill, I still count it as very successful and memorable. He is already looking forward to us going again--and for it to cool down a bit!I am looking forward to many more such days--hopefully a few without saplings!!!
Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Great stuff Man... like the others have saidthere is alotmore to itthan just killing something.. My sons are going with me this evening..in a ground blind, they are stoked..

Good luck!!--but watch out for those saplings---they will jump right out in front of you!
