It's a good one!!!! I was changing diapers in the boat salmon fishing. When my son was that little the racket from the big guns scared him. He got over that by 5. I never...or it was vary rare to ever leave him at home on any trip. We missed a few years while he was in the Marines, but made up for it. I didn't shoot my first deer until I was 23. By the time my son was 23 he had 13. The memories.........I had a 3 point or better regulation with grades when my son was going to school. He got a 2.8 as a freshman in HS. I left him at home on a deer hunt that year. It hurt me waaaay worse than it did him. I spent the rest of the season that year trying to get that trip back. I still regret it, and it's been years. Lol
