lucky2hunt Report post Posted October 14, 2007 Well, it has happened...My kids have grown up We have been taking our boys out to the woods since they were babies, our oldest son was in deer camp when he was 2 months old. We hunt, fish and camped as much as possible when they were young. They got old enough to take Hunters Safety and started putting in for the draws. Our oldest has 2 deer, 1 bull, 2 javalinas, and until yesterday 2 turkeys. Our youngest has a deer, and has been on other hunts without harvesting. The thing is, their father and/or myself has always been with them when they hunt....This year we were informed that the oldest wanted to go turkey hunting with one of his buddies, and the youngest wanted to go by his self...Hey what about me!!! I have a turkey tag I wanna go! Nope they had their plans, they had scouted without us, now they were going to hunt without us. I thought they would go out, not find anything and come back and beg for our help NOPE, opening day the oldest was in our driveway by 8:00 a.m. with a giant smile on his face and a big 'ol hen in is arms. Youngest couldn't go out until Sat. because of school and football, Saturday he only had until 10:00a.m. because of football again. We get a call to ask us if we can meet him at the school and pick up his Tom because he doesn't want to be late for practice...OH MY You turn around for just a second, look back and your kids are all grown up!! We are so proud of them! Ilene Tyler, oldest Tyler and his buddy Will Ryan, youngest Very proud and excited Nice Tom Turkey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues79 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 That is cool to see your children have learned how to hunt. That should give you a good feeling knowing that you taught them how to be able to be successful in the field. They're doing what you taught them to do! That's cool. Pretty soon (in years to come) they'll be the ones doing the scouting for you and taking you out in the field. Congratulations to you and your kids! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
