Advice needed

[Weehunt66]

My son drew a cow tag for the cowiche unit. 
Now I need a compelling argument to convince his mom that I need to take him out of school for a couple of days. She is really adamant that school comes first. 99.9% of the time I agree, but this is hunting 
Any thoughts?

Yep. He will survive three days without school. My advice is she crazy. Really though, this is a chance to make memories. He can work ahead, do extra, talk with teacher and set the stage. 100% worth missing a few days for.

I did it and turned out fine, but I had to complete all my hw early and be acing my classes otherwise my butt was stuck at home.

Can always get the teachers to give you his work for the days he will be gone, then each night after the hunt, he and you can work on it. Cant think of a better addition to a great bonding experience.

When I was in school I'd take go for first couple days after summer break then take all elk season off.  My teachers used to think it was a joke and call my parents to confirm it wasn't a forged note.  Those years of hunting were the best of my life and wouldn't change it for anything. Go make memories and fill those tags

Yeah now is the time for him to take off. I used to miss a week during deer season then another week during elk season. Grades always stayed up and graduated with a decent accumulative GPA. Work sure gets in the way now though. Have him get as much assignments ahead of time and it should be good to go.

Your son will learn more life lessons in a few days of hunting. School can't even begin to teach what he will learn.

Hunt the weekends for the cow. You can still build great everlasting memories on the weekends. Save the time off of school for when he draws a bull tag. Doesn't sound like mom will budge on both. JMO

It's a great opportunity for your son to prove he's up to it.

Put most of the responsibility on him:   Get good/excellent grades (for your son, whatever that means) and we can take some days off.    Ask him straight:  How important is it to you?   If it's truly important, he'll do the pre-work and be in great shape to go.

If not, he'll learn a valuable life lesson.

That's what we did.  then the outcome is up to them.   Worked great for us.

Best of luck.

I don't let the schools hold my son hostage. If he does his work he gets to go. I take him out for fishing and hunting. Teaching him that you are only young once.

Sounds like the best incentive ever to get good grades.
