Man you hit that one right shotgun. My oldest boy started tagging along when he was 4 and I'm gonna brag and say he was a trooper every time. By the time he was 5 he could tie his own little pig, the right way. By 6 or 7 I had more trouble holding him back than the catchdog. He's 14 now and as good a hand as most grown people. My nephew is 16 and the same way. My youngest is almost 4 and has made several trips to the woods. It's a mighty prideful moment when that little fella tells the dogs to get ahead when you drop them or is out front of the wheeler calling them in the same way I do it. We had a good laugh one hunt when he told us to be quiet that he was trying to hear the dogs. A little on the bossy side but funny as all get out. These are the things that keep me doing it.
He's also quite the help hollerin for the dogs lol.
