I'm busy and hunting alone and about 15 min I'm thinking about all the things I need to or could be getting done. I know I'm unlikely to shoot anything I typically let them all walk. so there is little point for me.
I enjoy being out just have so much to do and get done with limited time. BUT when I'm out with the kids I'm spending time with the kids and can sit back and completely enjoy every minute.
Thats my alone time in the woods.I live for them days.I don't think of anything else while in the woods trapping,hunting,fishing,etc. While I agree I'm at a busy time in my life. For example last week I was home for 14hrs total worked 92 hrs. in thar 14 hrs I took a nap sager geting off a week of 16hr night shifts and the 2.5 hr drive home. Then I cut some fire wood ate with the family short nap and back to work. no way I'm going hunting. but had the boys wanted to go I would have went for 3 or so hours instead of the 2nd nap and dinner. But the song is about the kids growing up. Mine are way to fast being honest with myself they are the only reason I make time to hunt any more. I used to take a lay off and hunt from October through December every year from about 18 to 25. It's all I thought about. Today I have more responsibilities and priorities.

Well, now it’s flipped around. We take the old man out or he’d never be able to do it. He pulled the trigger on a nice fork horn spiker, the ole bugger can still shoot. We took care of the rest. Good song.

I, for one, miss hunting with my son (I have 2 sons, but 1 has never cared for hunting). I have no grandkids.
If I did have grandkids (and if they liked deer, turkey, and hog hunting)...they would likely be the envy of their hunting friends. I would spend all my time putting them in front of some nice bucks, fine gobblers, and big boar hogs.
But, life sends us all in different directions.

My 30 year old son and I have been hunting together since he was a toddler and we still do. He’s my best friend. Now he’s got a little boy that’s chomping at the bit and I can’t wait for the 3 of us to hunt together. I’m blessed.

Good song. My boys used to always tell me thanks for taking them hunting. My reply was just remember this and be sure to take time out and take me when I'm older.
