Title: Daughters first elk
Post by: hornhunter1987 on November 06, 2016, 06:38:00 PM: My 11 year old daughter was able to fill her cow tag! Ive had such a blast hunting with her the last few years. Hunting with kids is such a thrill. I swear I get more excited then she does. I couldn't be prouder!!!

Post by: hornhunter1987 on November 06, 2016, 08:37:32 PM: Thanks everyone! She is amazed by the responses from everyone. Hunting with kids is so important. Getting them in the woods at all is great but I also feel like they can be easily "ruined" too. I think it is very crucial to stay positive and calm when hunting with youths. she missed a elk on Saturday but I never got frustrated with her. Just calmly talked about what we both could do better next time. I have four more daughters that all show a interest in hunting and I can't wait till there of age. I foresee my trigger time being cut back to almost none......... but I'm alright with that.

Post by: mendozer on November 07, 2016, 08:09:44 AM: that's awesome for her to have someone to pass down this knowledge. I'm still struggling as a self taught hunter 3 years in. Good for her and good for you for sacrificing your trigger time for the sake of mentoring.
