daughters first duck hunt.
« on: October 22, 2013, 08:35:13 AM »
More or less a scouting trip but she was sure happy to be out.  We saw a handful of ducks flying high.  Surprisingly she sat longer than I thought she would.

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Awesome Drock!  Kids in the blind are fun.

  I have a hunting partner that on occasion, based on weather and location will bring his two grandsons out.  It's a crack up hearing their chatter on everything that happens.  Of course the dog is in the blind and draws their attention as well.  Then they inspect every bird we get to make to sure they approve of it.  Once in a while my partner has had to run the kids home if it get's uncomfortable for them.  Then comes back after taking them home.

  Anyways, keep her engaged and make it fun for her.  Your making memories for a lifetime and bringing along a future outdoorswoman.

Keep'em warm, protect their ears and let'em enjoy the days with you.
Good job!  :tup:

She will be a better hunter than you.  I guarantee you couldn't live-trap chipmunks at her age.

Its just a good thing he didn't have boys... they'd grow to 5'1" and look like leprechauns.  The only thing they'd be good at hunting is rainbows.

Hey....we are only hating on you......the little ones are sweet as can be, just like their mother. You can bring them by and the boy can show them Snickers, his new (to him) 6 year old ball python. The girls will love it.

Oh, and Buckmark, hard to replace a good UPS man after you run them off.

A little off topic then back to it, I have 2 youth 20gauge pump shotties and 3 camo insulated kids sized overalls for you guys to use/borrow if you ever need to...heck one of the overalls might fit D-rock... :chuckle:

That's awesome!!  Take the time for those trips as much as you can.  I took my daughter out hunting for the first time when she was 6.  She is 19 now and we are going after deer in about a week.  can't wait!!
