I started to respond to this thread before reading Andy's (dogfish) reply. Let me just say that you could not have hit the nail on the head any better than what you said Andy. I feel the same as you. My daughter is 9. She is my regular companion and partner. she is learning what the circle of life really is. She is eager to spend time in the woods, and to be a part of this lifestyle. The hunting and fishing does not just make real men, but it makes a real woman too. My daughter will bear this to fruition, she will be sure of that.

Again, Thanks for your response Andy, it is the true meaning of sportsman, and family!
