True, Dat.
Can he recite The Four Rules?
old oat:
when he was 4 an he first shot his single shot 22 he shot 50 rnd box an said he wanted to shoot more i told him he was out of bullets. the next time we went to shoot it he shot 1/2 a box an said he was done, i ask why an he said having a rifle was fine but it wasnt any good to him if he didnt have bullets for it so he would just save the rest till he got more bullets.

Thanks for the post.
I agree and have always said the exact same phrase when it comes to hunting. I've been taking my oldest daughter(now 16) hunting since she was 8. She has many adventures and some turkeys under her belt along with many other memories that I hope she carries with her forever. She has been fishing with me since she was in a car seat. Her first fishing trip was sitting in her car seat in my 1977 chevy truck next to a farm pond I know of while I caught fish and showed them to her.
I hope to pass along hunting to my youngest daughter who is now 4. She needs to calm down a bit first though.
