Two weeks before gun season and my son is messing up in school!!

This 18 year old has a whole lot more insight into life than more than a few of you do.
So Many people don't know what they have until its gone. And childhood is not forever nor is it guaranteed.
When you leave your kid home atjust what message are you really sending to him?
I really do hope some of you see the light from this thread because if not you may never know what you have so selfishly denied yourselves of.
Thanks Andy.

Well he is a great kid and he gets very good grades. He is in 3rd grade and his teacher has a card system for those who need to change their behavior. Here lately he has been changing a card, only one, daily. My wife wants to use hunting as a tool to get him to not change a card. She wants a card turned a day off hunting. I think that he needs time to change the behavior and that is a bit harsh. Has anyone else had a good kid that just talked a little too much. He is shooting every Fri. night at the gun club with .22 and is now a NRA Bar 3 sharpshooter. He is looking forward to deer season and so am I.
There is always the wood shed ( A good Spanking will do wonders )
I would say take away something else.
Like his computer or tv.
His ATV or something else that he likes.
When you and him get older you will have missed some of the,
Greatest Father Son times in both of your lives.
Espeasly if he likes to hunt with you.
I have two boys a 13 yr old and a 15 yr old.
If my boys are doing bad at school.
I told my wife you can take away any thing you want to,
EXCEPT time with me, what ever it is.
Time with their Father can NEVER be replaced.
I know my Father died and we didn't get to spend much time together.
JMHO

TAKE YOUR SON WITH YOU HUNTING!! I know when I was probly in 3 or 4th gread in school i got a report that I had a D in one of my classes.
my dad told me how mad he was and had a long talk to me on the way up north to go hunting. I still think of this every year it was one of the wireds fellings but I was happy and said. But it was a great hunt so take your some nothing bad will happend only good.

I did not mean to get people so upset, he has been turning his card for talking when he is done with his work. He is getting all "A" and one "B" in math. `We talked to the teacher about the situation and he is going to move his seat and get away from the friend that he was talking with. I did get some good ideas and I am greatful for that, good luck to all and I hope to have some stories to talk about in a few weeks.

As a kid, I know how this is.
Deer hunting only happens 1 time a year. Your son's situation doesn't sound that bad at all to me anyway.
I say let him go! You may regret not having him there and then you have to wait a whole year for him to get another chance at a deer!
