Please reply by Monday 8 am

Enjoy your time with them they grow up way to fast.

If you took your kids hunting for anything also !!!!!

Sitting in the blind with my son right now as always
One of the other guys boy took a 8 point this morning in eastland.... Bucks are moving

Just introducing my 11 year old daughter to hunting this weekend! She is really excited and my 8 year old girl is wanting to go now. Probably be taking both during Thanksgiving! That should be fun!

I am never hunting without one two or all three of mine.

I have my daughter with me here in east tx, nothing yet

My 3 year old son has been with me almost every day for the last 4 weeks that the season has been open here in North Carolina.

We haven't killed anything, but it sure is time well spent to have him out there with me.

Just got back from taking my 19 year old daughter"s 201 lbs. deer to the locker. She made an excellent shot of 140 yards. Pinned his shoulders together and went straight down. She"s been hunting with me since she was 3 years old. This afternoon I"ll be taking my 9 year old son after his second buck, and hopefully we will have the same luck as we did this morning. I get more satisfaction watching my kids get excited than if I were hunting myself.

If you took your kid huntin for anything you are in.. didnt mean to leave out anybody that went bird huntin this weekend.
This also includes grandkids and all..

Couldn't get my grandson this weekend, but he will be with me the week of Thanksgiving. He is turning 7 on the 26th. This will be his second time out with Papa. Last year he got wet and cold so we will be in the box blind this year. Can't wait.

my boy (6) hunted Sat am with me and we saw two does. Daughter (5) hunted with me SAt eve and we saw a little buck, a doe, and a coyote. We shot the coyote.

Both stayed up too late last night, so they missed me getting a 2nd coyote this mornin. Great weekend.

I used to love huntin. Now I love huntin with my kids (most of the time...).

I'm thankful to have this time with them. I'm a lucky feller.

Took my 3 yr old daughter last nite. Evidently there were no DEAF deer around.lol. We saw a squirrel ate pb and j colored alot and had a great time

Sounds like many trips I have made. I wouldnt trade it for anything.

My youngest son went hunting with me this weekend. He and his brother hunt more than I do!

Took my 5yr old out this weekend all he wanted to do is shoot axis so Friday we shot a 34" axis buck then Sat we shot an axis doe he said you did an awesome job Daddy that's what we are here for to put the boom on them LOL!!! It was a great weekend.

Here's a picture from last hunting season on his first hunting trip with me.

My son and I just got home from the lease. That 7 hour drive is waaaaay longer on the way home. He is 11 and he got a doe and his first buck, a nice 8 point. It was a 3 year old basket rack 8 point and you would have thought he shot a new world record. It was great and well worth the drive just to see his excitement.

P.S. Could not have done it in an AR county.

Took the whole family this weekend and had the good fortune of watching my oldest son take his first deer - an 8 pointer. Don't know who was more excited Dad,Mom,or his two younger brothers.

I took my son. Technically, we met at the camp and he was in his blind and I was in mine.

Wouldnt have it any other way. I have created a monster in my son!

Took my 8 year old with me this weekend. It was awesome. He got to see for the first time a deer being harvested. It was at 180 yards or I would have let him take the shot. Probably a little too far for an 8 year old to take as his first deer. We are still working on his first one.

I took my two year old out with me tonight, it was to funny he saw our first deer that came out before I did. I was very proud of how quiet and still he was.

Been taking him since he was 6, now that he is 16 he's taking me. I've been lucky to be able to hunt with him and my dad for the past 10 years. We live by the motto "teach a kid to hunt and fish, and no drug dealer anywhere will ever teach them anything". Good to see so many others share this special time with their kids.

I got to hunt with my best friend. It had been 4 years since we had a chance to hunt together. Ever since he was old enough to hunt he's been with me. Unfortunatly, they grow up way to fast, he has been away at college for the past 4 years, got married over the summer, just part of becomming a good man. For all of you that have young ones, do all you can while you can, cause they are going to grow up and time alone together will become far and few between. Needless to say it was probly one of the best times in my last 4 years of hunting just being around him and rembering all of our past trips from bb guns to the big boy guns. It was perfect!! Him shooting a deer was just icing on the cake.

Had my 6 year old in my arms this morning in my pop up "Hunting Tent"! She was as quiet as a mouse for her first hunt ever ...as she fell asleep in my lap! Didn't see anything but was the best hunt I have ever been on! By Far!

Took my son (his second year to go) and niece (her first time out) youth weekend for a doe hunt up in the panhandle. Son got 2 does with great shots (1 a 264 yrd double lung shot and the other a 85 yrd heart shot) and my niece got her first deer. A very nice doe at 102 yrds with a great heart shot. Dad was there and got to enjoy the moment with her. Man am I proud of both of them. That was a great weekend that I will never forget. Spending my hunting money so they can hunt. So I can sure time in the field with them is well worth every dime. Maybe someday I can afford to go out, but I don't care as long as I can get the kids out. Also took youngest son (age 10) on his first Dove hunt this year and hoping to get him on a rabbit hunt after deer season on my BIL lease in Feb. That will be great.

Took 2 of my grandchildren, my 9 year old grandson, who got a 8 point,and my 4 year granddaughter, who got a spike(she pulled the trigger). Now, 5 more grandkids to go...This year is dedicated to taking the grandchildren hunting-I have 10, 7 will hunt. This weekend was awesome, more exciting than if I'd gotten the deer myself-time with them is priceless! Watching them learn to observe deer and nature is amazing. I start bringing them out in the blind with me at 2-3 years of age-it's been one of the highpoints of my life.

took my 7 yr old son for his first hunting trip, and took my oldest (12) hunting!!! we went out for youth weekend and want able to get anything, but for opening day she shot he first deer a 3 point!! '


guess who is hooked!

My 4 yo daughter hunted both evenings with me. Her and her pink cricket .22L

I took both boys always do, and we always have a blast!!!

My youngest daughter went with me this weekend. She is 13 years old and this is her fourth year to hunt with me. She killed a doe her first year and has been pursueing her first buck ever since. She actually passed on a 130-140 class ten point Saturday evening citing that he was still too young (3.5) and would be even bigger next year. She named him "Fearless" and has decided that she will try to get him next year if she does not kill anything big this year. She wants her first buck to be a bruiser.

Good AM

Thanks Again
Ron

OK, I put everyone on here into a spreadsheet. Alphabetized by your screen name, then assigned a random number within that range. re-sorted by the new assigned random number.... then had it randomly pick one number from the list...

ghostrider!

Congratulations

Sorry not by 8am.

It is grandson, not my son. And yes I did.

That purtty much says it all...

Congratulations and THANKS for carrying on the tradition of Hunting and the great outdoors for all of us..

Now if you will PM me your address I will send out to you.....

One of my STIC knives for you to enjoy while out with your son,

Thanks to all who shared their stories and enjoy them while you can they grow up way to fast..
Ron

Special Thanks to SIG for handling the computer drawing

I have not yet this year but will asap... Took my 5 year old son last year for the first time and got my biggest buck ever with him. CLASSIC memory for the both of us.

Thanks everyone, and a special thank you to Rockinmyshoe. This knife is going to be put into the safe until my son is old enough for his first (2years). Thanks again and best of luck to everyone taking the little ones out.

Took my eleven year old son this w/e. He shot his first deer,a 8 point last year and is addicted now. This year he shot his first dove with the shotgun back in September. Teaching your children to hunt has to one of the most memorable things. Gotta go get that buck from the taxidermy this week.

Took my 14 year son bow hunting for his first time. I shot 2 deer with my crossbow and he shot 0. I am in the doghouse....

I don't have any kids so I usually just borrow one...

Took an 8yo to the stand with me this weekend, it went like this,
Me: "Danny, there's a squirrel."
Him: "Shoot it"
Followed 10 min of me explaining why not.

Me: "Danny there's a doe."
Him: "Shoot it"
Repeat above.

He did a good job of sitting, being quiet and not wanting to go in 15 min after we got there. And I enjoyed teaching him what I could!

I have been taking my daughter since she was 5 , She is 14 now and wants to sit by herself . Have a little boy thats 6 he's learning the process of why we dont see deer all the time . He cant wait to shoot his first buck but still dont want to put in the time to get one.

I took my 12 year old to camp Youth Weekend and he showed me how to harvest a 12pt. 204 lb buck.

He missed a doe that Friday before Youth Weekend with his bow, but he made up for it Saturday with his Remington R-25 .308.

Knocked this monster down. His big brothers were not amused.

Wanted to let everyone know that I recieved the STIC today. It sure is gonna make a little boy happy. I want to give a special thanks to Mr. Ron for doing this. Keep those young ones in the woods and they will make you proud.

I take one or both of my kids hunting with me 99% of the time ages 14 and 4!!! Loads of fun and great memories!

I took mine weekend 2. Of course he is 23 and he drove, but the time does fly buy.

I took my daughter to deer camp the first weekend and she can go anytime she wants to. She is 31 years old and married, but we still enjoy sitting in the blind. She takes pictures of every buck and I want to shoot just the biggest buck. Some of our best times are when we shared the deer blind.
