My 10 yr old missed football all week and the first opener in 5 yrs due to grades and attitude. I'm not going to reward bad behavior.
He asked if I would just wear him out with a belt and be done with it, but that lets him get out of it too easy. No football hurt his feelings, but no hunting cut him deep I think. Getting a progress report today....fingers crossed! Coach has been on his butt hard at practice, we're in the play offs and he's the lead right guard, so the team is counting on him to pass. No pass, no play. Add to that I've been showing him yall's pics and telling him about a decent non typical buck I've been seeing that'd make him a sweet euro mount for his collection.

I dunno man, it's a tough call. There is so much good derived from hunting with the kid and the one on one time in God's country that it just might be better to take him hunting. I say leave it all at home and go hunting with the kid. Deal with it after a few good days.

Partner, you only get them once! Use your best judgement but remember no one is perfect and there are a lot of ways to discipline. I have four sons and cherish every memory. My Father was 48 when I was born and started me at 5 yrs old but really couldn't hunt with me later in his life.
