Define Hunting

[dogghr]

Well you take a 6 and 9 yo to the farm to perhaps hunt a few minutes but they rather bust ice in creek w rocks, ride atv and tractor , and shoot rifle and visit their dads treestand who passed last year.
Pretty good shots I should say. And we did get in the blind to hunt for 15 min but mostly to play guessing games.
All good with me and we had a blast. Great “hunting “ trip!! And wore me out!!
I wish to always have the mind of a child and not take life to seriously!!

I think you just defined something better than just plain old hunting could ever be....

It’s great you left his stand up. Just said a prayer for you and those boys.

it may not be "hunting" but that doesn't matter. Spending time and creating memories is what matters! Keep them interested in the outdoors and let them decide if they want to hunt. It's not for everyone, but keeping the door open always helps. I bet everyone slept well that night!

Love it. Love it. Those pics were filled with fun

My question is: Who had the most fun, you, or them ?

Those boys are very fortunate to have a grandad who understands boys and spends quality time with them throwing rocks in the creek. If all grandads were as great as you we'd have to redig the creeks.

My dad took me to the farm as soon as I was able to walk. My friends and I used to walk through the sunflower fields with “bashing sticks” just knocking stuff over. We are in our late 30s now and still talk about the fun we had with those bashing sticks.

I think you know. They jumped out of the Jeep to open the gate and by the time I pulled thru the oldest had whipped out his wiener pissing within yards of the highway. Not saying I don’t do the same but I stand behind the Jeep. After that they were wide open for the next 5 hours. Lol

Yep guess that’s why I pay to put limestone on that road!!

I am also blessed. My 2 1/2 yo grandson includes "grampa's farm" in his nightly prayers. Maybe not grampa, but certainly his farm.

Looks like they had a blast. I’m willing to bet 6 or 9 yo me wouldn’t have made it 15 minutes in that blind.

Great post dogghr. Good on you! As for taking a whizz at the gate - It's bout 100% for me when I pull in and get out to unlock the gate.

Best thing you can do is let them have fun doing whatever they want to do.

Enjoy!

Boys need a place to be boys! Regardless of how old they are!!

I’ll second that ! I grew up on a dairy where my Dad had leased 1214 acres. I had no idea how precious my growing up there was until he sold out (went broke) after a seven year drought and we moved to Dallas. (That’s where my mother wanted to be because my older sisters lived there.I despised it, every single thing about it !)
Man, what fun we had on the dairy farm ! Rode horses, hunted sqirrels, swung on grapevines (like Tarzan), fished in the creek, dodged cottonmouths, wandered the woods with our dog Rex, bathed in the dairy barn and ran naked to the house, had corn cob fights, and picked many a grassbur out of our unshod feet. We had no idea that we were that lucky........

I should also say that we didn’t stay in town long, Daddy hated it as much as my brother and I did, so we moved back to East Texas. Had a lot of fun there too, but that’s for another time.

This little man cub is hunting! He won’t be shouldering a duck gun for a while but he sure enjoyed it.

That’s awesome, Weekender! I’ve got a 10 yr old that isn’t interested in hunting yet but does shoot some clays and ars with me. That’s gotta be a ton of fun!
