You would think the title alone would speak for itself but unfortantly it doesn't.  My father decided that he wanted to leave my mom and I when I was 4.  So growing up without a dad there is a lot of things that I know I missed now that I'm a daddy.  I live for the outdoors so I believe that hunting and fishing made me the man I am today.  Without a mentor or dad to show me the ropes I am truely a self taught outdoorsman. 

  After becoming a daddy myself in 2002(Madison) and 2004(Hunter) now understand the bond that a father and a son has.  I wished I could just get my daughter in the woods like my son but to be quite honest she would rather go shopping with mom....and who can blame her. 

  If I go to the lease or fishing he is there.  Early morning, rain, snow, blistering hot weather, and mosquitoes no matter what he is there.  He loves checking trail cameras and although he spills more corn than he gets in the feeder he loves to do that also.  We are at the point now where he is identifying tracks and trails.  For only being 5 he carries himself well in the woods.  He knows when to be quite(that took a while) and when not to.  We are all blessed to be given such angels.  He thinks I'm the strongest, smartest, and bravest man on the planet.  If he only knew that he was really my Superman.
