Well it's squirrel season in northern Arizona, and I finally had day off. Took the family out the other day for the afternoon, this was our first family squirrel hunt. We got a couple:


Hunting with my girls (notice the cammo

My big hunter. She didn't see a single squirrel. She didn't see the herd of deer either. She's not much for watchin, but she likes to go too:

First hunt with the kids. The little one could care less. The big one was scared of the dead squirrels at first, but she came around:

She found it pretty interesting:

My old man started me young and I always appreciated it. Reckon I'd do the same for my kids. I hope they both end up hunting with me later in life but they'll know where meat comes from whether they like it or not, and that's more than I can say for most folks. My daughter is 2 1/2 years old and it was crystal clear to her that the bite of meat she was about to eat came from the squirrel she watched me skin a few hours prior. That is lost on most people these days:

man thats awesome. not very many kids these days experience half as much as your little girls do. keep it up and youll have the best hunting buddies around. heck they might just grow up being a better shot than dad.
 
huntinAZ I started my son at about that age. When he was about 4 we were camping and squirrel with my nephew when we were cleaning some squirrels and my nephews son was gagging and retching my boy says " whats the matter it is just guts and fur". Priceless! Now he is 23 and says when he has kids he is going to teach them about where food comes from just like I did with him.
