I took my 10 year old daughter out for her second year of hunting with Daddy last weekend. The bad news: we saw three deer in three and a half days. The good news: she was able to sit for three hours and 40 minutes one morning when it was 28 degrees. I got a 15' buddy ladder stand this year and it paid off. She was able to stay comfortable on the 48" bench seat. I also hung some camo burlap around the back and sides to help cover a majority of her movement. I got a deer last year when she went with me and she helpped me trail, field dress and drag it out of the woods. I told her that in two more years she can try it all by herself.

Congrats nselvis, that is my idea of a succesful hunt!!
I love getting my son out in the woods, and sometimes I convince my dad to join us.

good job bo id like to see more girls my age (17) in the woods... although shes only 10 shes going to make some guys dream come true! espacially when she gets the bigger deer!!!.. i carried my girlfriend out dove hunting the other day and she killed two more than i did and it actually wasnt that embarrasing because i was proud of her and was glad to see her ENJOYING (keyword) the outdoors..

I love reading stories about children getting involved in hunting. My wife and I are expecting our first child (boy) this December. She gets a kick out of hearing me talk about how he and I will be going hunting and fishing together. He hasn' t even been born yet and I' ve already been looking at a little camo outfit.

Sounds like fun for your both. Ill probly do the same with my daughter when she' s ready to hunt, and ill be thankful our temperature wont be that low also [8D]
