Almost brought a tear to my eye thinking about going out with my sons. They were so small back then and yes, a lot of time was lost. Now my 13 year old is bigger than I am and almost as skilled in the woods as I am. (Sigh), where has the time gone?
Thank you for the heartwarming story and pics. Truly, truly touching. Good job man! And yeah, no tears were shed for the lack of deer.

And yeah, no tears were shed for the lack of deer. If you’re lucky as I am, those memories of time spent with your sons will get rejuvenated when you get to do the same with Grandkids. Back in October I took my grandson (he turned 3 Friday) “deer hunting” at his request. He carried his wooden rifle, we looked at tracks, rubs, and scrapes made by “big ol bucks”😀 Even found a couple small deer that he shot at. Not sure how long he’ll remember that day, but Grandpa won’t forget. Dan |

Why does food taste sooooo good when cooked in a fire when hunting??? When bear hunting in Idaho my friend cooked some mule deer, potatoes and carrots in tin foil in the camp fire.... That meal was as good as any five star prime rib restaurant..... Could not locate any Idaho photos, so I posted a pic of cook fire in Alaskan hunt camp to to give the post some "flavor".............   |

Pretty awesome, thank you for sharing. I have a 4 Year old that tags along with me. I haven't take him hunting yet, but we do go in the woods for walks and stick gathering. He keeps talking about squirrel hunting... wonder where he got that idea.

That's a great story, and good job raising him right! Forget the deer, it's just an animal, you've got your boy. Oh, and I love the hat, I have my Dad's like it. 👍

Ben, that's as good as it gets, you're raising him right (no surprise) and some day he will repeat that same hunt with his son, job well done!
