My four year old is more excited about deer season than I am

[Bfh_auto]

About a month ago I hit a deer with my truck. I salvaged all the meat that I could. My 4 year old now thinks you hunt deer with a vehicle.
We explained to him that you have to wait till deer season.
We were unpacking and he found my grunt. He said I'll call a deer into the house so you can shoot it. Then he starting blowing it like a party whistle.
I love the excitement children bring back to things.
This is his chosen bedroom decor.

Can't change title to "four". Don't know why my all knowing phone changed it on me.

If that is his firearm collection now at four years old it will be fantastic by the time he is eighteen!

I'm sure it will. The bottom one doesn't function. But he wanted to put it up anyway. He has learned not to point them at people or the dog.

That's great! My 11 year old only recently got interested in shooting/guns. No interest in hunting but said he believes he could if he had to. Then told me he'd probably have to hunt chickens, though.
Told him I don't know of any good chicken spots.

I started buying firearms for my daughter before she was born... Decades before she was born... Seriously though... My daughter's eyes light up anytime I talk about taking her hunting, hiking or anything outside (she's 12)... I think our country has major problems because of the lack of parenting... Kids are sponges... They wanna soak up what you teach them... or what "other people" teach them... That's our choice... Thanks for the great story line.

My wife and I only had daughters - 2 of them. They were tagging along with us when we were deer and elk hunting before they were old enough to even start kindergarten.
It's funny how things worked out though. Our oldest took to hunting like a duck to water. She still loves it, and two of her three boys (our grandsons) took it up too.
On the other hand, our youngest daughter never really did take to hunting. And get this - she's the one that's a wheel with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation for crying out loud!

I hear you. Mine literally cut their teeth on venison jerky. I don't care if they want to do what I do. But I want to teach them anything I can.

I was able to correct the 4 for a four. Just FYI.

Don’t worry, he’ll grow out of it.
