I took some my youngest son out on his seventh birthday for a late night coon hunt. My male got out on a frozen stretch of river near some open water and scared the crap out of me.

I have had them out on one lion tree after some older dogs put it up. We kicked the young cat out for them and ...

New to the site and to the thread. Gotta say I am pretty impressed with the OP and his composure. Very impressive to me. I hope you are having a good time with your kids.
