shell 42 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Start em young I say!!! I'd sooner I'd have her outside with the dogs learning something and getting fresh air rather than sat inside! My little one is 2 and all we get is 'go catching rabbits? get wellies on... get stick... cmon mum'. 2 yrs old, out walling. Out walling again. With her beagles. Like you say though, we've gotta watch their mouths. We had 2 sheep, called Norman and Stanley. Every day she had to go and see Norman and Stanley. Then they went in the freezer... and she's telling everyone 'Norma Danley in freezer for dinner'. shell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
countrylass 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Remember when your son rang my 4 year old daughter and asked her to go lamping Still makes me laugh My 4 year old daughter often comes out ferreting at the weekends, she also enjoys going out with the local hunts on a Saturday. I think its important for the younger generation to be encouraged as after all they are the future of our country pursuits. However she is still into watching her princess dvd's before bed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spade 224 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 My 11 year old lad has been coming out with me for years rabitting, ratting, digging, following hounds. Hell would freeze over before he missed a day out. When he was at junior school he had trumpet lessons and after scool he would get his trumpet out in the playground and "blow for home". Got him his first hunting horn for Christmas and is eargerly waiting to take up the offer of a lesson from the Quorn huntsman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 i have a 3 yr old son whom has probably seen far too much , i think its great we take our kids out to maintain what we feel is our tradition and rights but are we taken a huge risk with their little gobs!!! i would hate to think what he will come out with at nursery after the incident with santa his bedtime dvd is now a foxing dvd rather than bob the builder!!! i have actually had to stop him leaving the house at 11pm with my lurcher bitch , coz he was off lamping!!! now do we ease these kids up or carry on ? whats your views? My 4 year old son is exactly the same! He loves the clip in the 'Hunting videos' section on here, of the GWP X after the rabbits. He'll also sit and watch me skin a rabbit without blinking, and offer to put the waste in the bin! He also takes an interest in what I shoot, for instance, everytime we see a crow when we're out, he'll tug my arm in exitement and shout 'DAD! A CROW!!! SHOOT HIM!!' He's just started to come ferreting, and he loves it! He stands there still as a lamb as soon as the ferret goes in, and watches the holes. Sometimes I think it's a bit much, but when I think back, I was exactly the same with my Dad, and it taught me a lot about certain things like being carefull around guns & treating them with respect, so i'm not too worried.

Ossie 11 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 when i was a kid i loved the dogs & ferrets, but dad always took my little brother out shooting & stuff, not me. i only went out with dad & the dogs twice. i always got left at home with mum to do cooking & girly shit that i hated. i used to nick my dads old catapult & sit out on our meadow shooting pigeons on my own. i think that's why i went anti! my parents never encouraged me in anything i did, if i did something i was really proud of they wouldn't even acknowledge it, so i just gave up on stuff or kept really quiet about it. when i was 8 i could take a pigeon out of the sky with an old wooden catapult & a nice round stone, but my bro could shoot a pheasant with a .22 and that was far more interesting to my mum & dad. it's good to see so many of you with daughters who are keen on hunting! don't hold your kids back, enjoy their enthusiasm now, before they get interested in boys/girls and go right off everything!

outshooting 0 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have a girl who is just coming up 1 year old she is now starting to interact more with all the dogs which she loves and they don't mind her one bit I will have no problem with her coming out with me shooting, i always show her what daddy has brought home, pheasant, rabbit, deer and she also eats the game too, if she chooses to take up hunting, shooting or any other country activity i will back her 100%, but if she doesn't then so be it, i wouldn't push her Quote Link to post Share on other sites
