Shed antlers or tears of joy
« on: April 17, 2010, 08:28:08 PM »
Do you ever have one of those days when as a Dad you can be just busting at the seems with pride. My kids did well today in everything they tried. From basketball to the soccer field. They played unselfishly and they gave everything they had. Both tried new things today and they left it on the field. Blood/tears and sweat. Does it really get any better than that.

I gotta go with the tears of joy.  Since my 12 yo daughter recently passed hunter ed, I find myself already planning for taking her out and wanting to try as hard as I can to get her a deer.

Tears of joy far outweigh sheds. Plus, some sheds get you both.

My kids make my life worthwhile.

Definitely tears of joy! They are only kids once and you have to enjoy every minute! I look forward to every game or 4-H event. I enjoy it as much as I enjoy taking them hunting and shed hunting.

I hope you don't have kids...

for the kids sake.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I have those feelings with my kids all the time. Very proud.
However I did have tears of Joy when I found a large (by my standards) 5pt WT shed while turkey hunting.
