Take her Chad, even if she screws up your hunt (which she will).

I have one child - an 18 year old daughter. She used to go with me sometimes. Not very often though.

On two seperate occasions, I witnessed old guys absolutely melt - one actually teared up a little bit - at the gas station we used to stop at when we walked in there, holding hands, at about 4:30 am. She'd have her lil' camo clothes on, with her name embroidered in pink on her jacket, pony tail hanging out of her hat. You'll have a mental picture of it for the rest of your life - the same one I'm thinking about right now. Thanks for reminding me of those days.


not yet. she's too young, i need a break and i'm going to get fricked up.

3 is a little young.

One time when I took my daughter, I brought her to my "slump buster" hole. This little beaver pond in east texas, right off of Caddo Lake, on some land that my uncle owned.

side note - ever wondered where all those ducks you see at daylight go? it's to places like this....

Anyway, this was a place you could only shoot about every 10 days or so, but it was GUARANTEED MALLARDS at daylight for about 30 minutes. Then, hunt over.

We got there, and like always, it gets daylight, you start hearing a little chuckling, and a pair swoops in, lights about 15 yards from my mojo. I whispered to her "are you ready for me to choot'em?"

Predictably...."no, dad, don't shoot them, they're pretty".

No shots were fired that day. We probably watched 15/20 mallards light, then fly off.
