Sounds like a great day in the field with your cousin Dennis. I took my 2 boys there when they were 12. 1st time out. 1 got a pig like your cousin and the other got a Dall Sheep. I couldn't afford going to a place like Choppers and this was jus 1 day so I wouldn't miss work either. The kids have put many hours in since at Tejon and camp Roberts without an animal but they love every second of it. So I guess BHR didn't ruin them and I made a good desision taking them there. Those who give fatherly advice but don't have kids should just wait till the become dads before they bless us with all their wisdom.
