Bill,
My hats off to you,I'm doing the same thing, I'm a 3rd. shifter with a 19 mo. old son.Most sleep I get during the day is 4hr. & some days only 2.My hunting time has decreased alot,but I look at it this way,I've got a soon to be hunting partner that will beable to go anytime I do.I do alot of coyote trapping,and I just take him along,some days I feel like a zombie but atleast I'm getting out, my oldest daughter started going along when she was 3,took her beaver trapping one year almost everyday,I just pulled her on a sled to every beaver house I was trapping through the ice.They love it.The only time I get out now,are the weekends cause he isnt ready for this kind of weather yet.He will be this coming fall&winter though,I figure when they can talk and tell you when there cold or uncomfortable,there ready to go.So right now to take edge off of my hunting and trapping addictions I get on here and see whats going on in the hunting and trapping world and my son loves to watch that new randy anderson calling coyotes 2, he'll sit on my lap and watch it like he was zoned in on a cartoon.But again my hats of to ya,it's nice to see other parents taking care of there own kids and spending the time with them in there most critical learning years, instead of dropping them off at a babysitter because there free time is to valuable to waste watching there own child. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
