I know EXACTLY what you mean, Gregg...
My oldest son Kevin, is 22, Graduated college last spring, out of the house and "on his own"... He's turned into a VERY FINE young man!!!!! I'm VERY PROUD of him, and I love him dearly!!!
He doesn't hunt anymore...
It wasn't anything I did, or didn't "Do"... I gave him all of the instruction, and encourage ment, that I could. It's just not for him. He finds hunting "boreing" LOL! But, That's Ok... I love him anyway!!!!!
His brother Tyler is 13... Now I have a second chance. It won't be easy, My wife and I are getting a divorce, and Tyler will be living with me. This will mean more responsability for Tyler, and more times that I will be on his case. But, then again... We will have more time together. He's already started, all I have to do is keep the fire burning.
Good luck to both of you!!!!! and Thanks for shareing...
