[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 40121, member: 25"] Nodak, Thanks for a very nice read - you are doing it right and I commend you for that. Your children are very fortunate to have a dad that cares and wants them to love the outdoors. Real shame that more "parents" wouldn't be parents and put their kids first. There is just no better time in the field than with your own kids - and the simpler the better. Kids enjoy being out anywhere with their dad more than what kind of rifle/scope/binocs are along - or killing things. Brings back memories of a lot of trips - amazing how quickly little girls learn to shoot .22 rimfires accurately. Its true that we mature through stages as hunters. I believe that some guys stay in certain stages longer than others but the very best recollections will be taking the kids out when they were young. We can buy hunts to replicate dreams as we get older, but we cannot go back to the special moments when we shared the outdoors with your very own nine year old. You only get to do that once - they just grow up too fast. I feel sorry for parents that never shared such time with their kids, they don't know what they missed. Your analysis of the local hunting terrain and pressure makes muzzleloading a logical pursuit. Obtaining the gear, skills and confidence to make long shots can make the hunts more enjoyable. I wouldn't turn down a forty yard shot at a good buck, but being able to take him at 250 yards if you have to is saticefying. I would be honoured to help you with your muzzleloading - be it getting into long shooting or "blowing smoke in their face" close. Wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas. ian [/QUOTE]
