My elk hunt is only 48 days away... I can't even begin to count the number of times over the past few months my kids have asked me for food either while I'm shooting... or as I'm walking out the door to shoot. Their pleading eyes and hunger pangs evoke no sympathy when my bow is in my hand. With the coldest of hearts I channel my Marine infantry roots and growl at them "mask your pain!! and just go grab something from the fridge"... and then I go back to thinking about my grip and anchor point.
That said - I'm shooting my Cari-bow better than I've ever shot. If CPS doesn't haul me off first... it's gonna be a great hunt.
Upon tasting the seared backstrap of a MT elk... all will be forgiven.

I'm with you on that Jar. I can remember me cooking dinner and my son would tell me he isn't eating it. I'd tell him you'll eat it when you get hungry enough.

You're just teaching them a little discipline...and to leave dad alone when he's busy. They'll survive Lol. Enjoy your hunt!

How do we know this is all true and not just talk?
Be careful of what we teach and say?
First off why even tell them what it is. Let them decide after they have eaten it. As long as its not like a leather boot and smell like dog crap!
Take them with you rather than let them play video games killer games.
You never know how things will be until its over and awful lot for granted. LOL
Hopefully you do have a good hunt and be safe and maybe get blessed with an animal too.

Used to feed my kids shake and bake bunny whenever one came into the backyard. That was 40 years ago. Now they both live on store bought and don't talk to me. Go figure.

I spent over 20 years in the Army as an Infantryman. Whenever I go off the rails, my wife tells me that my mask is slipping.' Tough love is still love - good luck on your hunt.

Don't worry about the kids, put yourself first. When you get old and feeble, they'll be just like you were.
Hope your practicing pays off.

Have a great hunt! Nothing like bow hunting the elk rut.
This September will be my youngest sons 6th season bow hunting elk with me. Yep, he’s hooked too.

Let them eat paper towel soup! Your hunt and happiness is priority. Stay focused. If they bug too much just put their pictures on the swap and trade thread and get another bow for them.
