Man I wish I'd thought of that one of mine will be 3 Christmas Eve and he wants to go anytime he sees me out my boots on. Hopefully he can start going next yr if mama lets him. My other bit has some time (only 6 mths)

coon hunting should be a family sport. not as dangerous as hog hunting. thats why i got into it. so i could take my kids. its great ur starting the youngster man told me one time ( takes alot to kill a kid but only minutes to break ones spirits) keep up the hunting and good luck to yall

That ol man said it well

Well said!!!

Downby07, what I did with my son and it sounds kinda corny but whenever he's watching a movie (mainly the Lion King) and someone/something dies I just tell him it's part of life and he's ok with it. I know he's a little young to understand but I was never sheltered from death, and I try not to with my kids, simply because it is part of life and it can't be avoided

Great idea. I doubt he care about shooting the coon I'm just concerned he'd slow me down while I ran across posted property. .. kidding of course

You guys enjoy ever night in the woods with your little boys and girls 35yrs from now you will look back and say it was some of the best times of your life I did. now its time to get the next generation to the woods.

I agree 110% My little boy will turn 3 on Christmas Eve and I told my wife that yr he was our Christmas gift, he has been a blessing so when he tells me catch coon daddy I think he is ready!!! He loves watching the dogs so I can't wait!!!!!!

my youngest boy is 23 but i remember takeing him when hes round 3 years old.i was liveing on the mountain then and it snowed all day so i took him on the side of the mountain cause it hadnt snowed there.it was cold as all get out so i wasnt going to hunt maybe a hour.i turned loose ole scrap and he went in younder bout 500 yards and set down and treed,i thought perfect.so i went to carry ike cause it was so rough and got to the tree and it was a den but in the very top there sat mr.coon.i asked ike you want me to know him out,he said yeal,so i knocked him out but didnt hit him right where i wanted to,the coon and scrap fought all over the side of the mountain, finally scrap was able to put him away i asked ike what ya think bout that boy and he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said daddy that toon was good.ike got over it though,it had the coon for supper.lol
