Congratulations Doug, :beer:.You will have more fun hunting and fishing in the future with youre kids than you can ever imagine.I dont have any children of my own but I take my niece and nephew out fishing all summer long(there mother said they are to young to take out hunting).They are a heck of allot of fun to have in the boat and there is nothing like watching them reel in a big fish or ask questions about fish or wildlife,or when they get home telling mom&dad about the exiting parts of the trip.My nephew gets so exited you have to make him slow down so you can undertstand him.Sorry for rambling on,I just wanted to tell you about my experiences with my niece&nephew.Congrats!
