If you don’t mind me asking, how old’s your kids and how and when did you get them involved?Asking as I have a 3 year old daughter I’d love to expose to hunting, but don’t know how or where to start.

@thatguy Thanks mate! To be honest i’m really lucky to have this spot that I take them on the farm which is really easy going. I’ve taken my two eldest there since they were one year olds in a child carrier backpack. I do the odd little trip into public land with one of them in the backpack but generally if I do that then I try to do it with someone else so if we/they do shoot something then I know they can sort it and I can just do the parenting. There’s actually a lot we can get them involved in if we put in the effort. The biggest thing I will say is it has to be fun, let go of the hunt focus and make sure it’s focussed on the kids being happy and having fun.
