Its awesome to see some youth getting into the great sport of hunting. Thought id throw up a thread and get some pics going of our youth in the outdoors. I put this under big game hunting as its more about the hunting side but even just kids in the outdoors will be just fine.
Oh and great job to all you parents that take time to get children out there to pass all of this on to them. My hats off to you!!!!!!!

And a couple pics to get it rolling, post them up boys and girls!!!!

Here is one everyone should get a chuckle out of. Far from much video quality but it was a cool day. I think it was 7 or 8 years ago and my boy was around 3 or not quite 3. Made the little clip for the boy as he thought it was neat back then to be on a hunting video. LOL

So just curious what age did you start bringing your kids out into the field. My son is only 15 months old but definetly plan on taken out with me.

Our youngest went out in our MEC backpack when she was 18 months old for my antelope hunt a couple of years ago. She did absolutely fine, napped part of it or just hung out and enjoyed the scenery. This year we took all three for two evening elk hunts, 3, 7, and 9. Start them young

Our kids have always hunted with us. The early years was in the truck and such. Then from when they could walk in the bush up to maybe age 6 they only came occassionally for short walks and such but from then on they want to go every chance they can. My hunts turned from wanting the biggest animal in the woods to them talking me into shooting any deer because they want to be involved in the harvest. I have a ton of buddies and know many forum guys that are so into the trophy hunt that they dont take the kids on most hunts because it may ruin the hunt. But id far rather shoot a 120" deer with my boys than a 200" by myself. Nothing beats it when them kids get that rush when an animal comes in or you harvest one!

ha ha you and me both... i was forced into taking a 140ish buck last year just cuz the boy wanted me too... i knew the deer i wanted wouldve prolly stepped out another 10 minutes later but.... also last year while sitting on a line waiting to fill one of my supplementary doe tags one finally stepped out just before dark ... i raised my rifle and shot ...... looked over at him and he was sleeping... he only rolled over when the 7 mil bucked and didnt even wake up
