Will be 10 years this spring and the first 9 she was OK about the hunting and fishin. The last year has been different, we had our first and only child. He is great, but she has put the kabosh on the free time. He takes alot of TLC and time. I manage to get out once a month to fish. This is the start of hunting season and I don't know how it will turn out. I get to felling guilty when I'm gone all day fishin or hunting. By the way I give up golf completely. Good luck on your new adventure. It is a roller coaster. I can't wait til he is big enough to go with me!!!
