Took my daughter hunting

[Guest Fenris]

She did incredibly well. Stayed more still and quiet than kids twice her age.

We got two tree rats. Hunting squirrels on a windy day is sorta like playing "Where's Waldo". Got both of these at about 60 yards. They were frozen and staring at me while their compadre was barking at me from behind a tree. Squirrel and dumplings tomorrow.

Ain't nothing better than hunting with your kids. My daughter and I can't wait for the youth hunt next weekend.

Squirrel is some good eatin! Your daughter doesn't seem shy at all about picking them up to pose. Keep her going for the next generation!

More people should do this kind of thing with their kids. Even if they don't stay still and quiet (you're lucky) I doubt many parents would regret the time spent with the kids when they are sixteen and too busy for you.

congrats, man. I just showed the pics to my wife and 3 year old daughter, and she asked, "Daddy, when are you going to take me hunting?"

Congrats again.

Great pictures! I'm sure she will remember that time with Dad for years to come. She looks like she is really into it. Good job!
