Take the 2yr. Old Hunting with you?!

Kudos to this dad for taking his not yet 3 year old out hunting with him. As a mother of a two year old I know it is no small feat.  

This proud daddy sent me a story about his little 2 year old huntress. She was up that morning at 4:45, scent killer showered, ready and raring to go, even if uncle Dan wasn’t quite ready!

Here is his story:

We went out that morning after I took those pictures and had a nice doe at about 50 yards. She was closing in fast on us. My daughter had a coughing attack, which scared the doe off.

That night we went out again and had the same doe coming in on us. The same thing happened but this time she covered her mouth and muffled the cough enough so the doe walked right in at 15 yards. My 2 yr. old stopped her for me with the old “BAAEEP” sound. I put a good shot on the doe and sealed the deal.

 I was so proud of her. All that practicing and explaining I had done with her paid off. It proved that kids are never too young to get involved.

So don’t be afraid to bring your daughter (or son) with you sometime. I found it is a great way for me to spend time with my daughter and still get to do what I love.
