You and your young ladies have my envy Sock..

Same here. I tried to get my 2 boys into camping and hunting but failed. They never did like it. Then they discovered those killers of all things outdoors - soccer and daily hot showers.

I'm 71 and have a lot of knowledge I'd like to pass on. The last couple of years I've got involved with our church's Trail Life troop trying to teach 11 to 15 year old a few things I've learned before I'm to old to get out myself.


You know you're always welcome to come south a state or 2 and go with us.

Sock I’ve been a guide most of my life and one of the groups I handle in northern Canada fly ins is a group of great older guys. Three years ago one brought his granddaughter. Typically bored but polite 13 year old. I got her involved in everything to get her mind busy, taught her to handle a rod, fish, and run her own boat. She has boated 48” pike, countless trophy walleye, and last summer a 44lb lake trout. She is everywhere helping everyone in camp these days on top of becoming a very good guide. Getting to be a good cook as well.
She will be 16 this summer and I sure look forward to seeing her in her boat. If you message me your email I’d enjoy sending you her picture with the trout. Couldn’t be more proud if she were
My own.
