Great story my friend.
I have a similiar issue at hand as we speak. My daughter is involved in tournament archery and enjoys to shoot very much but, we still are not there yet with a bow in terms of enough kenetic energy to effectivly harvest a deer. She told me this fall (after a few outings) that she didn't want to hunt, just wanted to go with me. I didn't want to push her so I took her every chance I got. Bow hunting, firearms hunting. I have passed on several animals and do my best to teach the reasons why I do what I do. Sure we have seen bucks and younger does but I have certain criteria on my farm and she understands that. Last night in the fading light of an almost blinding blizzard, a doe that I have been trying to harvest for 2 months finally provided an opportunity. She was able to witness first hand the humanity of it all. The way we treat the animals, the way we look for the perfect one, the perfect shot, and how we owe it to them.
After it was all said and done, I asked her if she thought she might like to try her hand at it again..... I think so was the response I got.
Thanks for the continued hope Ketchn. The only thing I can do is continue to be a good dad, include her in everything I do, and always do the right thing. From there, it is up to her to make her own decisions!
