Final Youth Opener
« on: September 23, 2024, 11:32:29 AM »
Had an awesome youth opener with my son on Saturday. Sadly it is his last one before turning 16  :'( It was our first official hunt in our new boat. It was so great as he recorded a limit in about an hour. Five teal and two mallards. We both decided to stay out for another hour or so and just watch the birds work. So proud of the man he is becoming. I count myself as truly blessed to be able to call him my son and my best friend. I love you Buddy  :tup:

Nice! It’s always nice to see other people who just enjoy their kids company.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Cleaned up. Let’s keep success threads positive.

Congrats on a great hunt. Nothing better than being out with kids.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.
