They have never had a desire to gunhunt. I sat up a couple of ground blinds for them and had several deer pass just out of comfortable bow range for a 12 year old. After that day I encouraged him to take his shotgun and buckshot and kill one but he declined the offer. That made me proud that the process meant more to him than killing a deer. I have smart well-rounded grandsons that I love and they love me and thats all that matters.
