Made my Day! Best always!! C
My son took up bow hunting and loves it. My daughter came with us when she was young but had too many more important things to do:)
Every child is their own!
Awesome photos and Happy Birthday to Morgan!!! My daughter just turned 8 as well and also doesn't have much interest in hunting. My 10 year old son does though. She does like cooking and eating fish, venison or whatever else we bring home so I cant ask for much more. Oh and she does help me grind and package.
Very cool, Scott!!! Reminds me of my daughter at that age, when she joined me at elk camp, called in a few bulls for me, built custom fly rods for me and my friends at 12, tied pro-quality flies. Shot bows and guns, father-daughter camping trips, all that.
Then she turned 16 and "bloomed". Totally lost interest except for occasional fly fishing to impress boys.
Now she's a fashion chick in San Francisco.
Looking forward to more from you and Morgan!
I did my best to get both of my daughters involved in hunting and the outdoors. My oldest daughter loves to hunt and fish. My youngest is more of a sissy girl, doesn't like to hunt, but does fish a few times a year. Each one has their own personality, likes and dislikes that make them unique.
You've done your part as a dad in getting your kids exposed to hunting. Even if your daughter doesn't hunt, at least she'll understand what it's all about. I can relate to the pictures of them sleeping. If they aren't sleeping they're snacking!
This great Scott! Congrats to Morgan! You gotta love it when those gobblers "lose their head" over the ladies!
We have 2 daughters and a son. My oldest daughter is 16 and has less than zero interest really in hunting. She's into music big time, plays guitar and sings at local coffee shops, is in her school concert and show choirs, etc. That's her thing. You know a lot about my middle daughter, she's a killer. If it flies, swims, crawls, or walks she wants to hunt it. That's her thing. They all find their own way in life and their mother and I encourage them to walk their own path, even if it differs from ours. My oldest daughter has expressed some interest lately in trying trad archery, she's kind of a hippie girl so go figure! Ha! This summer we'll see if we can't get her out shooting with the rest of the family.
No problem Scoot and even better end to a great thread. Thank you.

I thought this was going to be a Kelly Harris thread. Always love checking in on those. Lucky for me that I did!! Awesome story. Always great to see the youngsters getting into it!!
Scoot, Absolutely wonderful. Doesn't get any better than that. Both kids in the blind, great turkey action, and beautiful weather. Cherish the time as they grow up fast but you'll have memories for the rest of your life.
