Fantastic; my daughter shot with me as she was growing up. She's in Houston now but is coming for a few weeks this summer and is going to be around to shoot a match with me. Special times they are.

That's what I thought, I gotta get down to the big muddy and try some of those! Any tips on locating the beggars?

We generally find them just below the wing dykes in the slacker water. We're getting hammered with big rains here now so the river is REALLY muddy might be a few days before its even navigable. Maybe we can meet at Rulo, NE sometime this summer and spend the day tryin to find them!

As a father of an 8 year daughter I could only wish she'll do those things with me when she's older. She goes with me now and usually more that my 10 year son and I hope she will continue.

It's always good to see the ladies enjoying the outdoors with their father.

I never had kids. My girlfriend has a son that I think of as my own. He's in his mid 20's now. I've taken him out shooting, given him bows and guns, and tried to gently nudge him in the right direction without cramming it down his throat, but he just isn't interested. I think it may have been different if I could have started with him earlier.

I do have two young grandsons that can't get enough of shooting bows and BB guns with grandpa. They watch for deer and turkeys wherever they go, and report their whereabouts to me. They both tell me they want to hunt with me when they get bigger, and I just hope I live long enough to see it happen.

I envy you folks that are able share your love of hunting and the outdoors with your kids. I hunted a lot with my Dad, and some of my best memories were made doing it. Looking back on it now, I'm sure some of his were too.
