Shaelee's first 'bow hunting' trip

[Hidehunter]

I was cleaning a couple of my guns and my baby girl told me she wanted to shoot them.  I told her that we needed to wait until she was just a little bit older.  She said 'I'm bigger now Daddy, I can hunt stuff'.  I said 10-4 baby, go get your bow and we hit the woods.  I told her we had to be really quite when we got out of the truck so we didnt scare anything.  I took my .17 to shoot a couple of squacks and she took her bow and arrows.  She said she was gonna shoot the deer and I could shoot the squirrels lol.  I was very suprized as to how quite she was.  That is HIGHLY UNLIKE her lol.  We only seen a few chipmonks since it was right in the middle of the day and the oak didnt hit in that spot like it did every where else.  We had a great time though crossin creeks and watchin her lay on her belly over a knoll and stalking chipmonks is a memory I will have for the rest of my life.  She is 2 now but next year she will be 3 and I can already tell that I will be able to take her in a blind with me.  All you competetive guys better watch out in a few years cause she is gonna be a deer slayin/fish catching machine.  I'm so proud of her.  I think I may have walked her a little to far because I had to pack her the last 75 or so yards to the truck and when I put her in her carseat she was out like a light before I got pulled out on the road lol.



This little thing right here is the reason i live and breathe.

Denver,
you need to start keeping a little hunting/personal journal with all your non-forgettable moments.  My daughter is 14 and I have a hard time remembering the years that Shaelee is now.   And hopefully I won't have to go through what Slag was talking about, but everything else is happening that I was sure wouldn't.  Anyway, it looks like you're having a blast with her, and she with you, so write some of it down!!!
(Great post, by the way!)

That brings back memories for me when I was growing up in the hills of VT with my 5 brothers and we used to make bows like that...I still have scars !!

[Hidehunter]

Thats a good idea Dave...

She has upgraded now nasty...She said she needed a 'real' bow lol.  here she is patiently waiting for a deer to come down the trail.
