wish I took my kids more. but that's what happens when you move 7+ hours away from your land and ponds. I find it difficult to take kids on my public spots down here. probably cause the only good one I have found involves hiking over a mountain. though I have taken my older 10 yr old son the last couple years.

so, we only go on 2-3 squirrel hunts, a couple deer weekends and maybe 3-4 days of turkey hunting a year together. school and sports activities have become so serious these days I really hate that. in fact, I'm probably going to get a letter about an unexcused absence when I pull him out next Friday to head up for Missouri's youth hunt. Weird how they threaten good parents with family services when you take your kids out of town with you for great experiences. 3 non medical absences a year goes pretty quick. (funerals, weddings, and hunting +couple days in NYC) and now we are felons.
