I believe my oldest son has done a fine job of it. This is a photo of my 15 year old grand daughter and her small (but legal) humpy.

My grand daughter went goose hunting for the first time this year...She got one of Canada's finest...Canada goose...

I really don't think she and her dad are doing too bad...The lab is Harley. My son's general gun dog. He's been known to hunt downed ducks until he finds them. refuses to give up...

Great pictures Bushy.
That is a lesser Daniel.

I have a new way to cook goose that even my wife likes, and she hates eating goose.

Cut the breast length ways very thin.
Marinade with Cooking Red Wine, Worcestershire Sauce, and Montreal Steak seasoning.
Marinade for 24hrs, then slow cook in a cast iron pan using the marinated mixture to cook the breast in.
Make sure that the meat is still pink when you pull it out of the pan.

Boy Methinks that I will have to cook some tomorrow for the family.

I have been taking my son with me out deer hunting for several years, even though he is not old enough to purchase a tag, he is a great assistant. I won't go into the details of why, but the fact remained, a couple days ago we were forced to track a bleeder over hill and finally dale, I had lost the track a couple times and my son was able to pick it up both times. I have always taught my children to respect the land and game - if they choose not to pursue hunting, at least they know where I stand and why I do what I do. As I have mentioned before, I love the sport and TRULY believe that our youth are the future of the sport, not limited to gender.

I was equally pleased this year when my 6 yr old daughter set her alarm and was up and dressed at 5 in the morning, scared the hell out of me as I did not know she was up, but she asked to go with me deer hunting - she was ready to go, what can you say, and why would you say anything other than "get in the truck"? I have never been a prouder father, just the fact that she wanted to hang out with Dad was pretty cool in my book! She knows track identification and has a pretty good set of eyes for the game as well.

I do test them from time to time, we will see a deer or elk on private land bordering public and I will ask them if the shot would be good or bad, they always ask first what my tag is for and then they ask if I know if the land is public or private. It isn't everything that makes up the sport, but I believe I have started them on the right track.

I will continue to ask advice from you good people, but I am glad to see this post - I think you folks are great and the hat is off to you and your youth!

Crackshot...The Northwest (the Tri-states [Idaho, Washington & Oregon]) is God's Country...Everything from deserts, prairies, pine and douglas fur forests to rain forests. Not to mention the Coast line. Did you know that Oregon alone has more miles of sandy beaches then California???

I agree with you Vince.
I sure could live there. A person can never get bored in a place like that.

Bushy, you taught your kids well. I hope that I can be as successful with my kids as you have been with yours.
Only time will tell.
