Taking a girl to elk camp. . .

Op I have a daughter that’s about the same age as yours and she is not happy when I leave to hunt or fish on my own lol

Take her every chance she lets you!

@String&stick -

Remember that women sleep colder than men, so make sure her bag is 10 to 15 deg warmer than the guys' bags.

here's my friend Gail, on horseback with her dad Harry Selby, and her brother Mark on safari in kenya's NFD. Take 'em!

Take her! She isn't going to hear or see anything there she doesn't hear or see anywhere else. And it could be memories you have for the rest of your life.

Gender wouldnt make a difference to me. Age would though. As limited as my time is these days. If I was planning on a guys weekend or a good hard hunt. Only to show up and be blindsided with daddy day care and a couple of bickering kids...I'd have some real strong opinions on that.

A bit of a heads up would go a long ways with me

While I'm in the take her camp about 80%, I say broach the subject this year to grease the skids for next year.

Kids and a female change the dynamics in a group. Just a fact.

Good luck,

Eddie

I guess i don't see all the drama. Move your tent/trailer a little further from the rest of the group. They can do thier thing and hunt how ever they want and you can focus on hunting places that make enjoying time with your daughter easier.

You can still get together for breakfast or in the evenings or not depending on the situation. Everyone in camp can still help each other when a animal is down.

Time is fleeting as kids grow older who knows what next year brings this might be the only time she's interested in going along and you'll regret not capitalizing on this opportunity to make lifetime memories with her.
