Personally I love it, my five year old and I trek through the forest every second Saturday (single father) with the hopes of just seeing a rabbit or grouse . We rarely get any thing but we have fun. I teach him about hunting , gun safety and out door survival. I know he's not really lisening but I have a blast. Any one else like to do things like that

Great thread! I love to hunt with my kids! I have 3 step sons whom now enjoy the outdoors more then the video games. I also introduced my daughter into turkey and deer hunting this year. We need more people to share there knowledge and love of the outdoors with younger generations. That is the only way to keep our tradtions alive.

As a father of 2 teenagers, I know how you feel, it's true quality time! I had my now 19 yr old daughter shooting when she was around 7 or 8, same with my now 16 yr old son, both are great shots and both have first hand knowledge of proper gun safety and skill. Keep up the good work!

My daughter has been going hunting with me since she was 5 shes 11 now and I just started by taking her to my deer stand once and she always wanted to go ever since, but her favorite thing is to go hunting with hounds. We run bear, **** and coyote where we live and she loves the dogs even if we don't put anything up a tree or find a coyote track to run she always finds something positive that that the dogs did that will in time make them better and smarter. I can remember going **** hunting the first time when i was like 5 or 6, and if you ever find someone with hounds see if you can go with them for a day running bear or night running **** and you kids will have the time of their lives.

Unfortunently, my dad wasn't into the outdoors at all, much less hunting. Since my parents are divorced, and I live with my mom, I didn't have anybody to take me hunting. My Grandpa on my dad's side hunted alot but died before I was old enough to go but really got me into fishing and the outdoors. My other Grandpa didn't hunt at all, he was pro-hunting and everything but just didn't hunt personally. But finally, my mom's boyfriend hunts so he got me started about four years ago. Now that's what my life revolves around (and fishing).
I'm really glad that you are taking your son hunting. It will form a bond neither one of you will forget. I'm already taking my little cousin on small hunts and he loves it. Pass it on to anybody you can.

hi there
i would have loved to take my daughters hunting more, but after the first time out with them and i shot a snowshoe rabbit, they wouldn't go any more, both of them love to shoot, skeet trap, targets ,but they won't kill anything, well that's ok with me , we still shoot together when we get the chance, and they still belly up to the table when the venison loins come out of the oven every year, and they always seen to just drop by the first Sunday after turkey opens, kids are wonder-full.

I killed a doe and a 3-point when I was 5. Dad never missed a chance to take me hunting.

When I was a kid, my dad took my brother and I, and it was great. I don't have any kids, but my brother does, and he takes his 6 year old son out, and he loves it.
