Thanx Stinky.. and I guess,, tell yer wife thanx too... I like to think handsome over purty.... but hey... ;)

I dont know what takes more patience, bow huntin or just huntin with a 4 yr old (he'll be 5 in Jan), but he just asked me today if we were goin out this weekend. We have a medow we're gonna turn into a food plot in Asheboro on Friday, then will be huntin in Winston-Salem on Saturday for a "father-son day" hunt at our uncles place.

I hear ya Blue Runner... He's definately better at fishin, but it's truely amazin how quickly they pick up stuff.. his first season out in the woods on a hunt and he's a regular know it all now... ha ha ha ha ha.... dadda, 3 turns left, one turn right and two turns left.. that's where the deers are... ha ha ha ha ha ha..... he kill's me.
One tip to anyone takin a youngin out huntin.... BRING TOILET PAPER!!! He didnt like the idea of maple leaves for butt wipe....

But it's great that he seems to enjoy this stuff. He's learnin muzzle control (via carryin a stick), how to be sneaky like a deer, can tell ya what deer poop looks like, knows which way they travel by lookin at their hoof prints, how to be patient (sort of...) and the beauty of gettin up at 4:30 a.m. to eat breakfast and prepare for a hunt (usually wore out and nappin by lunch!!!) ;D

A good lesson though from Stinky is, a trophy doesnt have to be some huge boone crocket buck to have a lifetime of memories... best thing is we get to spend time together and that's enough for me, it'll be icin on the cake when he takes his first deer or catch that first big fish (I just might be more excited than him).

Good to see fellow sportsman that share the same passion with enthusiasm!!! Keep the pix comin on that and if you ever get a chance, take a little one out, it is a challenge (i.e. on yer patience and keepin them safe), but it's worth it, especially when they yell out "Dadda there's a deer"
