For whatever reason I was a lot more anxious for my son than my daughter. I am learning through my kids that they are more capable than we give them credit for sometimes. About the time you think you know a kids limitations they surprise you and exceed your expectations. I think hunting lends itself to that a little more than other activities.
The other cool part ,for those of us that have multiple kids, the dynamic of the relationship changes when their siblings are not around. You really get an opportunity to find out what that kid is made of.
