No worries if I were you, you have taught him right. It is a much different time now then when we grew up, there is so much more stimulus to keep kids minds busy that the things that we grew up loving get somewhat lost in the shuffle. I have three kids that are spread out from 21 to 4 years old. The teen age years are the worst for parents, kids pull away and become independent, thats not such a bad thing. Hopefully we teach them right and one day they will return to the things we love, but it they dont its our duty to understand that they are their own person and may or may not love hunting and fishing as we do. I believe that this is all complicated with divorced parents as you apparently are and I am as well. I am assuming this is your first child to go thru this, it hurts but it will get better. Sorry for the long posts but I do completely understand what you are going thru it, my 16 year old just started driving so he is very independent. We continue to do what my wife and I enjoy and if he wants to come to the camp he can, let them decide.
Stay Strong they need us to be Strong
