[QUOTE="kellyzier, post: 406540, member: 22137"] I will tell you that Long Range hunting with your kids really adds a unique twist that brush hunting doesn't have. When I was growing up, my step father taught us how to hunt. We never long range hunted. We brush hunted or stalk hunted. Most of our shots were under 100 yards and once in awhile you might see a 250 yards shot. The point is this....My step dad would take us up the hill and say to me and my brothers, you take that ridge, and I will take this ridge and we will hunt down this mountain to the bottom and we will see each other in 3 hours. We really didn't share the hunt or chase with each other cause we were always split up. After the hunt, we all collected together at the dinner table and told stories of the one we got or the one that got away. I have fond memories of this growing up, but never really shared the thrill of the chase with anyone next to me. Today, with long range hunting. We are all together, my 10 year and 13 yr olds were there right next to my 15 yr old when he shot. We all are glassing together, spotting and one guy runs the camera. When an animal is shot, we use one guy with a radio to bird dog the animal and the others all put on packs and help pack out the animal. This style of hunting is a great teaching tool for the young ones. It also gives the real young ones (10 year old) a chance to learn the ways of the woods and basic survival techniques. How to get around in the dark dark woods and how not to fear being in the middle of nowwhere. We are typically miles from any usable road and this type of exposure for the youth is invaluable. Aside from being an absolute rush when shooting up to 1,000 yards, the idea of being all together all day with the kids is probably one of the biggest reasons I long range hunt. The young ones still need to be close to the adults in the deep woods and this style of hunting is really conducive for this. cheers, zman [/QUOTE]
