Status: offline 		Ok so here is the deal.  My daughter is in 9th grade and going to the homecoming dance.  Which happens to be this saturday night.

So do I go hunting, which is what I want to do,

Stay home and scare the poor kid, which I would also like to do,

or show up for pictures in full camo and face paint, then sprint off to my stand, and fulfill both duties?

I say you pull mr hormones to the side and let him know in no uncertain terms that you own A LOT of weapons and that you know places in the woods where no one has ever stepped beside you.

Just KIDDING!

What time does the dance start? I think she would be much more happy to come home and tell you about it rather then make you sit there while she gets ready. I think when my daughter reaches that age she will know how important the first day of archery is to me. Actually, i wouldn't be surprised if she wanted to go with me instead. Last night she helped me build arrows. What 5 yr old wants to do that.

Ask her what she would prefer!

Take this advice from a Grandpa  Stay home  I missed a few socials (Fishing) when my girls were young and wish I never did  They Grow up fast TOO FAST

No need to kid SK.  My great fear in life is that she will find a guy just like me!  My second greatest fear is that she will act the same way her mother did the night she met me!

The good news is that it seems I will be done with my obligations around 5 pm so the hunt is on!!!!!!!

You have a ton more evenings to hunt, but this is the only time this year she will go to the dance! Besides, whoe's gonna scare the hell out of her date?

Your daughter is old enough to see through our BS. If you hunt that evening she will see that she is SECOND on your priority list!

Not to mention your better half is gonna see it in your face.....Dont hunt!

Status: online 		... and we wonder why so many of our youth are like they are in today's society.  I guess they get their priorities and values from their elders...  Catman, if that is how you really feel, that is truly an ignorant statement from someone that needs to grow up.  It would be very interesting to see the reaction your buddy would have to your statement.  I am guessing he might not be your buddy much longer.  FYI, he sounds like his priorities are a lot more inline than yours.

Status: offline 		Quick follow up, as picture taking activities needed to start at 3:30 in the afternoon, I got to scare him and hunt.

He showed up at the door, I answered and said (with a stone straight face)

"Ready to go?"
He answers "Yep"
I say" Ok the mower is in the shed, make sure you weed wack around the fence" and then stand there stone faced.  I think he was several seconds from running away.

End of story, I got to hunt, saw 3 small bucks and was home in time to make sure she was home in time.
