In recent years found myself setting aside my own hunting interests and goals for those who have little hunting experience. Realize the clock is ticking on grand kids soon being grown and gone, window of time to teach them hunting is pretty small.
Become more apparent this year with youngest grandson...missed shots, inexperience with bow, clumsy things that scare away game, and unending questions. I know we all go through those experiences to become better hunters. Forgotten how far I'd progressed and how much of my own inexperience I've forgotten about. Love these kids so much and want them to have the same wonderful outdoor experiences to remember.
As we bungle our way through this season I remain optimistic it will all be worth it years after I'm gone. Besides, what the heck am I going to do with another set of antlers laying around....rather have the memories.
