Taking a girl to elk camp. . .

[DLIP]

100% take her even if it means having to find new buddies.

I’d ask your buddies depending on “who’s” camp it is.

We’ve never had women in our elk camp. And it isn’t that any of us are doing anything too bad, a little cussing around the domino table, a few drinks but no drunks, dudes scratching their nuts, the occasional joke of a nature I wouldn’t tell around a teenage girl or probably any girl besides my wife.

But it isn’t just my camp, there’s about 10 of us that are every year diehards who always schedule work off and plan a big part of our lives around the trip to elk camp. It may be the only vacation some of us get and guys like to cut loose a little and just hang with the guys. And for the record boys don’t get to come until they’re old enough to hear a dirty joke and maybe have a beer they aren’t allowed to tell Mom about.

Absolutely take your kids hunting, regardless of their sex. But there might be a right place and right time that doesn’t involve making it awkward for anyone or causing a rift with any friends. Worst case scenario you get to go on an extra hunting trip with your daughter.

I started my camps with my wife hunting with me.
Over time my so called buddies walked away and I replaced them with my kids.

My daughter justrd turned 41 and at least every other year she comes home to hunt with me and her brother. We don't camp much but everyone in the family hunts with me.

My old buddies? They play golf and I don't miss them.
