coueshunter84 Report post Posted November 21, 2005 I started mine out chasing dove, Lots of field time, at their leisure. After that, They all have their own bows. Everytime I am out shooting they are all invited. Even when I dont really have time and need to shoot or fix something. They still get to shoot . I just try and keep them involved with everythign I do hunting, shooting, outdoor wise. So far it has worked for me. Bad thing is my oldest is now into sports, and everything else a 11 year old girl is into. So I have been ahving problems with keeping her into shooting. As for a 12 year old boy I dont know. Maybe spend lots more time out in the boonies and offer to take him every time. Let him schoose where to go and be involved with everything about the trips. If you have the time, make the time for him. Other then that I dont know. Good lluck on this one. Shane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueselk Report post Posted November 22, 2005 I really don't know how to answer this one. My kids have gone with me every chance they could. I have taken pictures with them and my animals every year since they were born. They help me skin them and take care of them. One thing is that I am a hunting fanatic. I fish sometimes, but hunting is a passion for me all year long. So my kids enjoy it also. They like being in the outdoors. They are like me and don't like it inside. When we are hunting, they like exploring. Looking for lizards, bugs, neat looking rocks, etc. My son is a rock hound. We never come home without his pockets full of rocks. Some kids like it and some don't. I expect that my daughter may tend to shy away from it in a few years as the boys come knocking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
