[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1515100, member: 71039"] [ATTACH=full]111563[/ATTACH] You make a good point regarding making sure the kids have fun. I have a brother in law that drug his Young son out hunting. The guy is a mountain goat and instead of making the experience about his boy and having a good time, he expected his boy to suck it up and hunt as hard as he did (this is in idaho with a lot of rugged terrain). Needless to say his son doesn’t want much to do with hunting anymore. In fact my brother in law made the comment that his son “ruined his hunt”.
