Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Kids at the Campfire I need to lower my expectations

Don’t lower your expectations. Just change them. Don’t make it a squirrel hunt. Make it an outdoor adventure. Take snacks and drinks. Help him make a fire and cook hotdogs. If the weather is decent take a tent and sleeping bags. And more snacks and drinks. You’ll be making lifelong memories for each of you. Who knows, maybe a squirrel gets shot somewhere along the way. 😀

Edited to add: Looking back, now that the kids are grown, I’d gladly trade an elk hunt for one more of those pajama parties. It’s all about perspective.
