Dads Take Your Daughters Hunting!

[C-Money]

Nice buck! My little girl seems to be very interested in hunting. I am glad of that!

[shoot-em-dead]

debating on putting my 9 year old in hunter ed. I think you just proved she is old enough.

FWIW, remember I didn't "put my daughter through" she wanted to on her own and has been asking for 2 years now. Just saying be careful, there were a couple kids there that you could tell were only there because their parent wanted them there, and it was obvious. Again, not preaching, just dont want to see you make that mistake

I'm hearing you. She has been begging since she was 7. I have another daughter thats 7 and wants to hunt too. I grew up in Michigan and you can't hunt till your 14 so I've been thinking the girls are too young but it sounds like we might miss out on some memories if I don't let them hunt till they are older. By that time they might be more interested in boys.

Could be a good reason very few women hunt in Michigan these days.  I lived in a rural area and only two females out of a class of 145 have hunted.

I'll try and dig up some pics... my oldest daughter was with me when i killed my first bull elk...she was 17 months old! Been on a couple antelope kills now too..

My youngest daughter is chomping at the bit and is pissed that she cant hunt till she is 12... When she was 5 I let her stalk a doe with her little bow. She launched an arrow that landed at the does front hoof from about 15 yards... it was hilarious...I have pics of that somewheres too! :0)

I have a three year old son who I'll take. I have a daughter due in October so she will be moms company while were out! That's OK though, my wife did ballet for almost twenty years so I'm sure my daughter will be a little ballerina too, not a hunter. So on the flip side, having a daughter will guarantee me, my son and my dad more guilt free hunting time

Here is my daughter's 08 buck. When I asked her prior to the hunt what she was looking for antlerwise she said "I don't care as long as I can field dress it."  I may be looking at college tuition for a future surgeon... yikes.

My oldest is 3 1/2 and she loves going fishing with me, she got a little bass on Curlew lake last night. We have been out scouting every day for the last two weeks and she comes with me. She doesn't understand why we are not shooting the deer when we are seeing them. She looks at you and almost crys saying "daddy they are so taste why are you not shooting them"   She has actually been able to take out her little pink 22 and shoot it with me a couple times. It is mostly point it toward a large box and working on squeezing the trigger. This pic was of her with me on Deer Lake this year when there was still ice on the lake, she is a trooper. You will see pics later this year of her with me and animals on the ground, there is no way she will miss it.
