Would this be OK? Would it be teaching him a bad lesson?
I'd love to hear your thoughts. You all helped me with my decision, last year....and I thank you for it.

This won't be MY decision. I've read enough, so far, to know that I won't DENY him this if he wants to do it, though.

What I was trying to keep out of the conversation was people imposing their OWN thoughts (on the subject at hand....and how THEY, themselves, feel about it)into how HE should feel.

Fair question....but it isn't all about, ME.
Jeff, if you are opposed to hunting in that manner for yourself what kind of message is it giving your son if you say it's OK for him to do it?

You could build a city between when those two posts aired, Badger.
I mentioned somewhere in between those that I'd made the decision, along the way, to allow HIM to make his own decision.
You can go back and quote that, too, if you'd like.

No, it isn't about you, but it is about an oppertunity YOU'REpresenting to your son.
What if I got him an invite to have dinner with Senator Obama? Should I let my personal views of the man interfere with something my son may enjoy or gain from ("gain" being a VERY broad word)?
Neither is illegal.

If you consider 33 years a short stint, YES! I retired from the Air Force (Military Intelligence) on July 1st of this year.

I love how you ask for peoples thoughts on an issue, then you want to argue overtheir answer. You're a piece of work! I'll say it again. This will have to be your call Dad.

Only reply I have to that is......If I was going to condemn one of his decisions.....I wouldn't give him the choice.

You're a good person, and I am sure a good dad. You know your son and what the right course of action is. I am just saying what is right for me in my situation tothe best of my knowledge.

RE: High Fence - Real Life Scenario
The rest of my post was stating that I would not pretend to him or myself that I thought it was the right decision. Know what I mean?
I apparently misunderstood. Sorry about that.
