    I posted this in another place (the "how do you introduce your kids to hunting" thread...), but the thread itself was at death's doorstep and already falling to the back recesses of cyberspace... looking at it after I posted it, I thought it worthy of more than one view. :)

    Pardon the moment of nostalgia... but it's hard to believe time has went by this fast.

    Like Doug, I've enjoyed capturing moments along the way...

    Matthew's age 2 here helping me open up that year's order of BowTechs...

    [​IMG]

    Some of my favorites...

    [​IMG]

    My wife made real postage stamps out of this one and put them on our Christmas cards that year.

    [​IMG]

    I had to put him on my shoulders and wade across a 15-foot wide creek to recover this one. When we found her, he said "she was sleeping." :)

    [​IMG]

    Had his nose right inside her chest cavity on this one as I was gutting her. Only time I've ever seen him throw up. He turned, did his business, and stuck his nose right back in once again to get a closer look. :)

    [​IMG]

    This one's blown up and on my wall above me at my home office...

    [​IMG]

    As is this one:

    [​IMG]

    One of my favorites as well... we were shooting sparrows in a small strip of woods together. Fortunately, I'd shoved a broadhead in my jacket pocket just in case. We came up on this hen, he gave an AWESOME yelp to stop her, and I drilled her.

    [​IMG]

    It's not just killing things that excites us though; get them involved in ALL aspects of the outdoors:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Us fishing the Jack's Fork in the Missouri Ozarks. We slaughtered the smallies that day.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I believe that trapping is one of THE best ways to get your youngsters involved in the outdoors... FAR and AWAY one of the best:

    [​IMG]

    Bringing on the second one in big brother's footsteps... I think he got it.

    [​IMG]

    Now this one from last year hangs beside his big brother's pics of the same age...

    Looks like you're doing pretty much the same things my dad did with my brother and I when we were that age, and it worked! Awesome pictures Greg!

    Those pics are totally totally priceless! I especially like the one of your son shooting his bow at the doe.

    Great pics greg. About the only things that get me going anymore involves kids. I still enjoy hunting but it is so much more when I can take my son and see him have success. Watching my daughter dance or anything really hits a soft spot as well. Especially this year since she is a senior and those moments are flying by.Continue enjoying the time together and documenting with pictures.
