Got my daughter her first shotgun - teaching her to hunt like a real outdoorswoman

Dec 13·1 min read

So proud to announce that my 16 year old girl passed her hunter safety course and today we went out for her first real hunt. She's got the discipline, the patience, and the respect for nature that it takes. A lot of people in my office act surprised that I'm raising her to be tough and independent but that's what being a good parent is about. She can break down a rifle, field dress a deer, and still beat me to the kitchen to make breakfast. That's a real young woman right there.

That's awesome man. Teaching her to be independent and capable is huge. Hunter safety is no joke either, she clearly took it seriously.

This is the kind of tradition that bonds families together. My dad took me hunting when I was younger and I still remember every detail.

How did you pick shotgun as her first? I'm thinking about getting my daughter into hunting too but wasn't sure what to start with.

Post seems cut off but I'm sure you killed it out there. Nothing like that first hunt.

Getting my daughter into the outdoors was one of the best decisions I made as a parent. She's got more confidence now and doesn't need to rely on anyone else.

The fact that she passed hunter safety on the first try speaks volumes about her discipline. You're raising her right.
