Is this okay?

My little girl will be 4 in April. She is infatuated with shooting hogs, coyotes and deer. One of her favorite things to do with me is ride around and look at dead hogs the day after I kill them with thermal.

Now all she wants to watch on YouTube with me is videos of deer and hogs getting skinned. I actually think it’s pretty cool that she isn’t grossed out and she genuinely wants to learn about skinning and then eating them.......My wife on the other hand is afraid she’s going to turn into the next Norman Bates... lol.

I don’t see anything wrong with it but is it bad for me to let her watch that stuff??

I think it’s fantastic. Mix in an educational aspect and it’s even better.

Yes

Nothing wrong with it. My son was like that when he was very young too.

Maybe Mom doesn’t want you turning her into a “Tom Boy”?
I don’t see anything wrong with it sounds normal for me. Kids like to do what their parents do.

I was "helping" clean pheasants and quail at a young age and looking at bits and pieces of prairie dogs after my Uncle and Grandpa got done shooting them. I don't wear women's clothing and murder people or anything. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

If you catch her drowning cats and puppies in the backyard when she gets older you might want to worry but just looking at dead hogs and watching hunting videos won't hurt anything.

If it was your son would this have been brought up in a conversation?

When she starts stringing pig ears on a necklace and wearing them to school to complement her muddy girl camo...completely acceptable.

Tally Ho!
Keep up the good work Dad.

My little girl is the same way. She’s 24 now

My 4 year old's favorite show is MeatEater. She's been with me in the blind when I killed a doe this fall and helped me skin and quarter it. We've had lots of fun making "deer snacks" (aka: jerky) out of her together. I told her she can go turkey hunting with me this fall and she can't stop talking about it.

Can't say my wife is crazy about it, but the little girl loves being outside so I'm not holding her back!

My point of concern is teaching gun safety and not discussing guns or pretending to play with guns outside our family. I know others will have opinions on that subject, but that's mine.

My daughter cleans her own game also. Helped clean her first rabbit at 3. This was her at 5. https://youtu.be/AjX5xXy8nBQ

Sounds like a great kid. Be thankful she has a strong interest in the outdoors and hunting. I wouldn't change a thing.

My 5 year old daughter is the same way. Anything I bring home she wants to check it out and watch me clean it weather it be fish or birds. She gets a little disgusted with some of it but she wants to keep watching and helping.

How do you break this thing open? To funny

Sounds like this thread should be about how to correct your wife’s thinking.
