I'm thinking of sending my son hunting with this coworker of mine who, oddly enough, thinks like you do. It'll be fun to watch this guy return my son after an hour because my son was tired, or was bored, or had to pee, or made to much noise, or scared the deer off, or...........(fill in the blanks yourself. My son is 8 and isn't ready for this.) Maybe I'll send my son along with his little Nintendo DS to keep him occupied. :) @JibberJabber,

I wonder if you showed your son some hunting shows on TV if that would help." Oh I'm sure it would help; help add to his longing for the day he can go hunting that is. I think the only thing that would curb this would be for him to actually take an animal down, then eat it. @SWC,

You shouldn't restrict an interest from your son simply because you don't like it. That's being selfish and should be letting him find his own identity, not yours.

I wonder if my little guy will ever want to hunt some day. I sure hope not! LOL! We live in Michigan where it seems like everyone hunts. I once asked someone if "points" on a deer were based on it's weight. I got laughed at. For the record, it has something to do with the antlers...I'm still a little foggy about what. Anyway, I wonder if you showed your son some hunting shows on TV if that would help. Just a thought. Yikes! I wonder if my little guy will ever want to hunt some day. I sure hope not! LOL!

I still ahve to bait his hook, but he showed some interest in doing that this past summer, so there's hope. He's going "Laser Tagging" with some friends a few weekends from now, and I would love for him to be old enough to play paintball so I could go too. Unfortunately I'll be in my mid/late forties by then. Hopefully I'm still spry enough to play. We go fishing every summer, and we enjoy it immensely.
