Title: Dads Take Your Daughters Hunting!
Post by: WA_BnC_OM on December 03, 2008, 09:38:01 PM: Don't you know they shoot better then us anyways...

This buck scored in the mid 130's. Three bucks in a row and 4th deer in a row. She started with a doe tag at 9 years old. Now shes 13 and chasing boys. Maybe she'll come back around when her boyfriend wants to hunt with her good old dad.

We are heading out for some turkey scouting this weekend, and she is excited.

O by the way, she's 16, has a steady boy friend and still loves to be in the woods.

Post by: Gutpile on March 28, 2009, 04:33:30 PM: My little baby used to hunt with me alot. We'd scout together, go shooting, you name it. At 14 she decided she didn't like it. There's now a boy of interest. I met him the other day. Doesn't hunt, doesn't fish, doesn't play baseball, football, golf, nothing. I just wanted to cry. The kid has NEVER BEEN CAMPING!!!! Actually he's a really nice kid. Straight A type. I'd rather she date him then someone like me when I was that age. Maybe she'll come around.

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 :twocents:

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. :yike:

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.

Post by: Hornseeker on July 09, 2009, 12:35:03 PM: 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)

Post by: MuleySniper on July 09, 2009, 12:55:59 PM: 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! :chuckle: 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 8)

Post by: TeacherMan on July 10, 2009, 10:42:31 PM: 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" :chuckle: 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.

My daughter taking a snack break during our deer hunting adventure last fall... we actually saw several deer and
had a small buck walk within bow range and never knew we were there. She's a pretty quiet four year old.

Post by: gunnarnewt on July 30, 2009, 12:20:14 PM: I don't know if the picture will show thru, but this is my daughter with her first deer, I drug her along for years with myself and her brothers, and she finally grabbed me and asked for a gun of her own. I've created a monster! But it's great, she's now one of my favorite hunting partners, and I'd rather see my kids successfull and enjoying this heritage than myself. Best thing I ever did was buy her that little Ruger.

I moped for a few days because I was really really really really really hoping for a boy. I was freaked out about having a boy chasing shop-a-holic paris hilton wannabee but reading all the posts on this site about everyone and their daughters it has really made me come around and I can honestly say I am pretty stoked. Her name is gonna be Addison Dawn. :IBCOOL:

When my wife was in labor with our first child, our son, I kept looking at the clock on the wall hoping he would be born before midnight. If he'd been born after midnight I'd be missing out on the archery deer season opener from then on and hosting birthday parties instead. Luckily he was born late on Aug. 31st! Don't tell anybody I was in the delivery room thinking about deer hunting... it's our little secret. :chuckle:

Post by: Gobble on August 05, 2009, 09:33:11 AM: Trying to get my 11 yr old into it. She wants to bowhunt but is afraid of the loud gunshots. Being thet you have to shoot a gun for hunter safety it has kind of been a deterent for her. I might see if I can get the one year deferal for her just to get her out. I'm also working on the 8 yr old daughter to get her into it.

Both absolutely LOVE venison.

My 16 yr old son has killed 5 deer. His first at 10 on his first day of hunting ever. talk about spoiled :chuckle:

I was born on Oct 16th, opening day of deer season that year. About three in the morning my Dad was getting ready to go hunting with my grandpa and a couple uncles, but my Mom said "I think we better go to the hospital" He missed opening day and everybody else got deer! The next day he went to help them pack the rest out. Sorry Dad. :chuckle:

We took them to deer camp, goose hunting and taught them how to safety handle a gun and shoot, they both got the biggest kick out of it, both saw deer, elk, turkeys, geese, coyotes, good times!

this is me and Sandra from Lebanon with my youngest daughters first deer.

She missed her first deer this year during the regular season, and was really itching to try again for the late hunt. No luck for her, but she is really looking forward to next season. Duck season is next.
