[QUOTE="TG-5150, post: 1515343, member: 103379"] I have had a FEW good hunting partners in my life and lost one of the best hunting partners to an immature mistake I made when I was in my early twenties. That mistake has molded me into a much more responsible hunter, now in my late 40’s. I think it’s important to admit young mistakes and That being said, Aside from my new wife (3 yrs)My oldest son holds a tie position. He used to throw such big fits if I didn’t take him scouting or hunting. Couldn’t tell ya how many nights we spent in a Subaru Legacy. The back seat removed made an excellent spot for a dad and kid to sleep. He is now 24 and in Montana, I miss him greatly. He did a lot of school homework before and during our hunting together. One of the greatest we shared was him learning I would be hunting with a new partner(my new wife). He asked how he was supposed to hunt from a vehicle and kill anything with two women in the truck. I asked him to go for a walk with me and stared to explain how much he slowed me down in the beginning and if I had ever judged him. He replied with a “no”. I said “great, now go get something”. A few hours later he killed a cow elk on his own. She was moving and he knew not to take the shot unless he was certain. The cow was 260 yards from him. The impact was in the back of her head. I couldn’t have been prouder. Him either. My son learned he preferred us hunting together because of the bond that it builds, but he learned a very more important lesson. He learned he could hunt alone if he had too. And more importantly, women could hunt, too. Wife smoked an elk all on her own. The day I’m explaining is one that binds the times that try, especially in a mixed family. Which seems to be the “norm” for these days. My son also knows about my early mistakes and is a more ethical person for my truthfulness to him. I know that, for sure. My knew hunting partner(wife) and I finish each other’s sentences,want to treck the same ground the same, fish the same holes the same way....blah, blah, blah. And that is nothing I did, just a perfect match. Guess I’m a lucky fella, and then some. I’d rather hunt alone than have a crappy partner. But to have a good partner is a blessing and I got two of em. I am a lucky person. [/QUOTE]
