Well, we were both sure enough excited, but it turned out to be just one big learning experience for the both of us. I took my 3 year old daughter out for her first calling trip on President's Day. All throughout the day, we rehearsed and talked about how it is done, how to be "like a statue", how we can't talk because the coyotes will see us and then we won't get to shoot em. She seemed to understand, she was VERY excited about going and really wanted Daddy to shoot them mean ole coyokes. She even told Mama before we left the house that we were gonna kill 4 "coyokes". (Don't know where she came up with 4, but that sounded like a good round number to me!) To make a long story short...she couldn't quite sit still and sure wanted to visit with her Daddy. Chunking dirt clods...drawing in the dirt...Repositioning to try and get comfortable..."Daddy, can I blow on MY call now?"..."Daddy! I think I see one!"..."Daddy, my bottom hurts. Can I have a chair?" We made two stands. Needless to say, we didn't see anything. I was a bit frustrated during the stands, but afterwards, and especially now that it's all over, I couldn't have asked for a better time. We both had a blast. And I did get to shoot a jackrabbit which topped off the evening. She told Mama that she was ready to go again, so it must have went well. We'll just have to try again next year when she's 4 and see if we can actually call up something. I think I have accomplished what I really set out to do...get her excited about hunting. Who says this is just for boys!
