Help me with a "coming of age" trip for my 13yo next weekend

[DocIndy]

How about the trifecta….
Texas hog hunting….. from helicopters….. with machine guns???
Definitely something any 13 year old would never forget!

 

[DocIndy]

I've been advocating this approach FOR YEARS!

A buddy that waterfowl hunts white river down south asked DNR if this was legal to do as they hate the carp too. Even with steel or non toxic shot, they were told that is a definite no-go. At least in Indiana….

The Vegas machine gun shooting sounds fun. Anything belt fed makes for a good day, but is rapidly getting too expensive.

Thanks for the input!

We're booked nonstop to Vegas, i splurged for the extra legroom on frontier. Have a suite booked at Luxor (gotta save money somewhere).

Planning to get there Friday night, sat morning full auto shoot, then pick up an exotic sports car and head to Hoover Dam. Sunday it's sniper rifle shooting and then home Monday.

What car should we rent? Thinking four hours

Chopper hog hunting..kind of a double experience in one.

Brads Gold Club. Dancers. Red Garter.

Oh, wait. that's 21. Nevermind.

Just dont be like my dad and buy him dances from the largest, ugliest women at every club as his birthday "gift".

Your dad took you to a strip club and bought you dances when you turned 13?? That's hardcore man.

Edit: Nevermind... I see the 21 reference now. But it would have been hardcore!

Went with the Lambo Huracan Spyder

I was leaning toward the green one.

First shooting experience complete. It was a great time. I was surprised how accurate a 240b is.

Even got a quick ride in a huge monster truck over an off-road course

I promised my boys I'd take them on a one-on-one trip somewhere when they turn thirteen. My oldest wanted to go hunting but I have nrvrr been and that never materialized.

Amongst my younger days involving hunting was with a doc who:

Stitched my head.
Set my arm.
Some other stuff.

Only the last was not involved with a hunting trip....ruptured appendix and other bull****.

In all the years since, I have yet to see anyone field dress and butcher out a deer like him.

Take your sons hunting.

Not a spur of the moment suggestion but I have a great planned out suggestion. If you guys like to fish then get with an outfitter in the BWCA and do a week there fishing/camping. Experience of a lifetime to share with your son. I just did one first week of June. We went with 4 other dads/sons. Awesome trip. Would do again

Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking this. My mother likes to fish and I have fond memories of going with her. It’s simple but an effective way to bond both ways. Wish I’d have been able to do that with my father… But I definitely second this for at least a day’s outing. Get a tub of night crawlers, a couple cheap sturdy poles, and load up the tackle box!

What I was suggesting is quite a bit more involved than just going out for a day with some worms and a tackle box. But yes, that too is good bonding time

Wasn’t necessarily limiting it to that, hence the “at least a day’s outing”. I was merely outlining a bare minimum and demonstrating that even that could be effective via my own personal experience. Cheers!
