VixChix, its my fourth! Its also my last. Many people think four is a large amt. of kids, but I have found that the love they put out is greater than the work put in. My 3rd, a boy, was also born during deer season. When he was born i convinced the wife to use " Hunter " as a middle name
Four - well that's a great number! 4 x the joy! I have several friends who have 4 in their familes and it's awesome. Once I had our boy and realized what a joy children are, I wanted a dozen!

I play the guitar. Not great, but I manage to hack out a tune. At my daughters wedding I made my only public appearance since I was in a rock band for two years while in college. I played and sang Father & Daughter, the Paul Simon song with the quote above to my daughter at the reception.
A hunting daughter can be the greatest joy a father can have. At a time when many fathers found it difficult to communicate with their daughters, my daughter and I were having long conversations about life while scanning the horizon from a duck boat. We talked about school and boys while we walked the corn stubble in Kansas shooting ring necks. And we talked about her engagement while in a deer blind in Texas.
For a father that loves to hunt, the joys a daughter can add to the experience are beyond calculation. And in the course of all those hunts I determined something about my daughter. And Paul Simon was right.
"There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you"
I have a three year old little girl. Your post really got to me. I am stopping at Gander Mountain on the way home from work to pick her up something in camo.
I hope I can be as good a father as you Mike P. You inspire me!
Mike's post struck a chord with me too. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with my Dad in the outdoors - priceless.
