 My daughter can't wait to get out this year too.

Hey, thanks for all the kind words Gang.  I am pretty proud of her.  She's been tournament bass fishing with me and her older brother since she was like 4 or 5.  Her big fish was 4 lb 5 ozs, I think.  Her first day 5 fish limit was over 15 lbs!  Once again Gang,  KEEP 'EM CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!

this is in my mind 1 of the best threads on here. i was fortunate to be with 1 of my daughters when she killed her first wt this year my 3 oldest daughters will be hunting 2 for deer and 1 for elk. as parents we r truly blessed to be able to share what we love with who we love and seeing the kids walking on air after a successful hunt it just doesn't get any better

Freaking awsome!!!!!! I have 2 daughters that will hopefully be hunting with me when they grow up!!! Memories last a lifetime and hope I get to share a few with them as they grow up!!!

It is good to see all the daughters going out hunting.  It is also good to see the daughters know how to use a gun..... that means I am less likely to have to remind my teenage son that most cute girls have a dad who owns a shotgun!

Wenhunter and Gang,
  I wont lie.  It is far more enjoyable to go out with the kids, see an animal and set one of the kids up for the shot or finding a big bass on a bed and having one of the kids come up to the front of the boat to fish for it and catch it.  We, as parents, are planting the seed for them to feel "accomplishment" from something other than X-Box, how many texts they can complete in a month or what they look like 10 minutes before their first day of school. 
  Being a divorced Dad, it was tough on all of us but "keeping them close" through memorable weekends in the boat or the woods, knowing they will remember those times (not the "not so good times") gives me satisfaction.  Setting time aside, just for them, is more the reason, not killing a deer or catching a fish.  I don't want to preach but I will say, my "little boy" turns 18 tomorrow and he is working toward being a game and fish enforcement officer.  Let's see, 18, without a ticket, accident, no trouble with the law, a fanatic of fishing and hunting, yes, I'll take full credit for that, and I only had the weekends to do it!!!!!!!!!! In other words, include them and you might just be surprised at just how much of an impact you'll actually make!  Again, thanks for all the wonderful pics, comments and stories.  It great to know I'm not alone in this crazy world!!!!

That is the coolest thing I had a old savage 06 that I customized the stock on for my sons 15th birthday.  He will be 17 this Nov. and he isn't really interested in hunting right now, maybe he needs to meet some of these young ladies    That seems to be his motivation at the moment anyway.  I will try and post a picture of his (right side) and my 06 that was my cover so he wouldn't get suspicious.  We both have the same initials so hes already planning on having mine too.     Told him he has to wait til I'm done with it.    Great Job Dads!

My oldest, son shoots and flings (14).  My youngest daughter flings (, but my middle daughter only wants to read.  Nothing wrong with that, just can't get her into guns or bows.  I took 14 kids to the gun range for a night of skeet.  We shot off 700 rounds in just under 3 hrs.  We had a blast and all of the kids want to go again.  They ranged from 10 to 18.  My middle daughter was using a Benelli 20 auto, but it was her first time and she released the stock from her shoulder and rocked her jaw on the gun when it fired.  I think she is just scared.  Her friend wants her to shoot, so maybe I still have a chance.

Keep up the good work guys.

SniperDanWa,
  Your daughters friends will have a much better chance of convincing her to do this again than you will.  Try setting it up again, including all her friends, and I'll bet you a box of your favorite ammo, she'll go again.  One thing I've learned, having an 18 year old son and a 16 year old daughter, friends and socializing will generate much more motivation than going out with Dad and "breaking their jaw".  I have included their friends on fishing trips out on the boat and the latest girlfriend of my son, caught her first fish EVER (and yes, it was a bass)!  Amazing how important a role we actually play in those years but you'll have to "work it".
