It worked out though !

Apparently wise beyond his year, catching some shut-eye (others might call it a baby nap) on the way to our spot.

And what we're after (spruce grouse).

A hearty snack (that's a chicken meatball in his right paw) at a nice camp spot to keep the energy up. He likes cheerios and string cheese for trail food also.

And a proud dad (me) and my son Connor, 21 months old. Maybe next time I'll get my bow right side up (it's a scramble getting a self pic with a toddler) !

He had a great time, liked poking the grouse. And he must have been practicing scent control as no diaper change was necessary until we got home (phew) !

Awesome! I took my kids out when they were his size too. Used a baby backpack most of the time. If you take him out enough, I'm sure you will eventually get stuck changing a stink bomb.
Awesome! I used to love hunting hooters. Never tried it with a bow, they were always way the heck up in the tops of those big spruce trees, at least down in the Southeast.
Now that is living the good life!
Very cool. I miss those days.
awesome day there !

Yes, as much as I feared the stinky jobs I miss those days too. But I have a 4 month old grandson that will soon be sitting with me in ground blinds. In a few years anyway.
Congratulations on starting him out right Tim.
Having a soon to be 9 month old boy at home(our first) this post made me really smile. Can't wait for our days like this thanks for sharing!!! Oh and congrats
Possibly the best post I have read this year... Short and sweet.... Good on you dad! :thumbsup:
Parenting the right way! well done pop.
I am so happy for you.
You brought back some awesome memories for me.
The mental imagine of the "Woogchilde" sitting at my feet while deer hunting is as vivid for me at this moment as it was the day it happened. She whispered to me "Papa look deer, never mind they're just does."...lol
Thank you for sharing your memory making and stimulating those of my own.
God bless,Mudd
Fantastic :)

I love it
AWSOME is all I can say!!! Good on ya dad

These will be some of your best memories for both you and your son. Way to go Dad! My kids are grown and on their own now, but we reflect often on our outdoor times in the hills. Now with 15 grandkids we are doing the same things with them. One grandson got his first deer last year and we have camped and fished together often as 3 generations now. Several of my grandkids are starting down the archery trail too. Best times ever, and do as much as you can with the kids, it will all be worth it and they are grown and gone before you know it. My wife says I'm still a kid at heart and yep, I am glad I am. Best to You!
Awesome day in the wood!
Good stuff Tim! It's amazing how much fun the simplest of hunts can be when you have a little buddy tagging along.
How great is that !! Great job dad, that is one good look'n little hunter right there. We'll look forward to watching him grow :campfire:
