Congratulations man! Best time of your life..... my son is 18 & my daughter is 15 I can remember them being under kindergarten age & in a ground blind. I will say that both kids really enjoy it when I’m out there for them & they’re not out there for me. You’ll get plenty of time to stay hardcore & do what you love. But try to separate them & find things to do that are laid back, just make memories. You want them to look back & tell stories of how you spent time with them that wasn’t shhh the entire time. Simple stuff makes some fun times, my kids
Loved camping, learning to roast the perfect marshmallow. Shoot a BB gun, handle a pocket knife, find things in the scope, read a map. There’s all kinds of fun life skills that are a chance to bond outside. Hunt smarter not harder, pick those perfect times & maximize your hunts!! Being a Husband & fathers is more rewarding that taxidermy( but you don’t have to give that up either) if you have a good woman she will want you to have some time doing what you love. Especially if she sees your not selfish & love them kids!!!
