243 for my son

[fabsroman]

Yeah, instead of your son being excited that he got to shoot at a big buck, he could have been ecstatic about killing a big buck. There is a huge difference there, but I still would be tickled to death that my son was excited about hunting.

If you make hunting too rigid, kids might shy away from it later on like my brothers did. I used to be very serious about hunting. Come to think about it, I guess I still am because I got pissed at my dad yesterday for approaching a tree the wrong way on a dove ambush. I was going around one way and he was going the other way and we were supposed to close in at the same time. However, he closed in way before I did and the birds flew out where there was absolutely no pressure. Nitro wasn't happy either.
