I took my daughter hunting with me (against my wife's wishes!) in Germany last fall. It was a wonderful experience. She heard sounds that she'd never heard before, experienced the pounding in her heart as an owl swooped over our heads and finally saw just how comfortable a deer stand can be. She was armed with nothing more than a a pair of Steiner bino's and a willingness to be with her dad doing something that we both enjoy, we were finally presented with a chance to go to a friend's hunting area for an evening stand hunt. She enjoyed using my bino's to gaze out into the tree line, was startled when she heard the barking roe deer letting us know that they were in the area, as well as spying the mice going for the corn kernels on the ground. By 1100pm, we had lost all light, and the pigs hadn't shown up. But when I spied my daughter asleep with a smile on her face and more comfortable than I could ever be in that stand, I knew that she had experienced something wonderful by being with her dad in that forest- something that she'll hopefully pass on to her kids (and maybe someday invite me for an opportunity to fall asleep in her stand!).
As a father of two daughters I have had several occasions now to "share" the field with them. In January of this year, three girls all under the age of 12 and two dads went rabbit hunting. The snow was knee deep and wet. All of us were successful in harvesting a rabbit. The photo of the girls with a half dozen rabbits that they harvested is priceless. The grins on their faces cannot be amply descirbed.
Earlier this fall, my oldest daughter now 13, shot her first deer, a year-and a half buck with a modest 3 pt rack. Fifty years from now she will still remember with vivid detail every moment of that few days in the field.
She will be a hunter for life. Her younger sister is counting the days until she too can go deer hunting with us.
I would share photos but have no idea how to do so.
There are several of my daughter (and son) on my profile. Nothing better than sharing it with my kids.
