I'm Going To Be A Father!
 

I know it doesn't really belong in the forum but I'm officially allowed to tell friends as well as family that I am going to be a first time father! I'm psyched, even better is the due date is right after the season ends so I get one more goood one in :)

I can't wait, due date is Feb 2, and we find out the sex and make sure everything is looking good on Sept 15, OPENING DAY! How fitting! My whole life I was hoping for a boy, now that its here though, I finally understand what everyone means when they say, "as long as its healthy."

I'm so excited, a new fishing/hunting partner on the way! Once we get the clean bill of health in Sept, I'll really be flipping with excitement!

congrats, im in the same boat except my timing wasnt near as good as yours, ours is due november 7th lol, but it is okay and worth it, i gotta look at the bright side, if it is a boy and his birthday is during the rut and he is as big of a deer fanatic as his pappy is then maybe it will be a good thing for him in the future lol, if it is another girl then i guess i got another fishing budddy lol.

Congrats! Nothing like being a father.

well it is nice to see someone else is having a baby on the same day that me and my wife are expecting our first also, but we are having twins and also find out the sex of the babies on the 15th of sept. So congrat friend and will pray everything goes well throughout the pregnancy and good luck this fall hunting

Except for being a Grandfather... :)

Congrats and good luck, you're going to need it....

congrats on the new arrival. I think you should name the baby Hunter

the newbie

Wow! Congratulations! Make sure you get their hunting gear while they're young, they'll be a pro! haha good luck

Have 5 myself so take this from someone who knows, your timing isn't all that great. You think she's going to skip around the house happy as a lark till she taps you on the shoulder and says, "sweetheart it's time". :)

Congratulations!

congrats to you both !!!!

congrats to you all........

there's nothing more rewarding than being a father

congrats, my wife and I have been trying for 2 years so I also understand being thankful for anything healthy.

Congrats and great timing! My wife and daughter's birthdays are both in October...

Congrats! You'll have more than one more good season! They might even get better as soon as your kid can go with you!!!

How much for all your gear....LOL.
Congrats to you and the Mrs.

Be sure to keep the receipt....just in case

Kidding...I have three and they're all keepers

CANGRATS MAN! Don't let em grow up too fast on you!

Congrats man!! By May you will really be looking forward to getting back in the woods! lol

Congrats!!! I got that news for the fourth time three years ago at the age off 43, and now that little dude is my lil' best friend! you'll soon be hearing, "Hey dad, i wanna go to the deer woods" love it!!!

One more reason to get the freezer full! Blessings to you and your sweetheart and future Mom.

Only one thing. You are not going to be a first time father. You already are one. Congratulations. But I know what you mean.

Thanks a ton guys! I was fishing the other day in a low flow river, maybe knee deep in most places and I couldn't believe the thought that popped in my head, "this would be the best place to take my kid river fishing for the first time when they're big enough due to the conditions." Usually Im thinking about the fishing only! I'm lucky now that i live 5-10min from the grounds I can hunt on so I "should" get some woods time in still, the wife is really cool about that, lets just hope it stays that way!
I think back to my dad and how he got me into the outdoors so young and would let me tag along everywhere, I'm real excited. I even looked at the baby stuff in basspro the other day before anything else? Guess my tough guy days are over :) thanks again guys!

congrats man, THATS AWESOME !! hopefully he'll turn into the best hunting buddy you've ever had. i know mine did : )
