Boots Josiah has been going with me on one hunting trip a year since he was three (You should have seen the harness I had to rig up for his little butt). It has always been a very enjoyable trip with some memories I will never forget. This was his first trip with his own rifle, where he could shoot a deer if we could get one to cooperate. If you ever want to know what your kid thinks about get him/her in a treestand for half an hour where they have to been still and semi-quiet. The stuff that they talk about in incredible. Now he thinks he gets to go on every hunt I go on, but we will stick with the "easy" hunts for a little bit longer. I think it is prob safe to say I have a new life long hunting partner and I couldn't be happier (well maybe when he shoots his first deer!).
