[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 1819101, member: 71817"] My 3 kids are one year apart. 2 boys and a girl. One morning I went hunting and on the way to my spot I had a deer run into the side of my truck. I loaded it up and went to the insurance company with the evidence then dropped it off in my side yard. I lived in a congested suburb outside of Philly. I went to work, leaving the deer in the yard covered with snow. The kids got home from school and let themselves in the house and called me first thing like they always do. Kept me on the phone til the sitter walked up the driveway. They were 9, 10 & 11. I informed them that there was a deer in the snow alongside the house and I'd appreciate it if they took the skin off of it. From their response I knew it wasn't going to get done. When I got home the deer was hanging in the garage, skinned and gutted, Everything in a contractor trash bag in a trash can. So apparently they had been watching real good, I never asked them to help me. The boys were boy scouts and had their knife chits so I could feel good about their safe handling of the knives. They got it up via my pulley system and 8 other neighborhood kids whose parents never forgave me for the messy clothes. From that day on they took an interest in all the butchering activities. I retired to a farm and we make huge family weekends out of butchering hogs or a steer, even 50 chickens. They thought it was gross at the time but they did it on their own and apparently enjoyed it. Never had to get them psycho-analyzed over it. [/QUOTE]
