You’re a great Dad to both boys, David. You’re exactly what the entire world needs more of!

Keep raising them young kids right. Nothing wrong with teaching them the right and ethical way to hunt.

Love the relationship between you and Cruz. You are teaching him so much about gun safety and respect to the pig. I also love the respect you show to Cruz’s Dad. It’s very evident he has three parents who really love him. ❤

Love that you're taking that youngster out with you. It takes a little longer doing things, but the lessons and experience Cruz is gettin' will last a lifetime. Bless you David.

That sweet little boy is a Great American in training.

What a great video of Cruise learning from you about hog trapping. The example you set regarding his father is one every person can learn from! Never a cross comment rather a building up! Great life lesson for every parent! 👍😎🥰🤠

A checklist in the truck would take you 20 seconds to scan and it would make sure you don’t leave anything again. Great shooting Cruise and awesome teaching David. He was so proud of that hog. I love the way you build his dad up to him as well. So many things men can learn from this video.

I like how you pay homage to Cruz's dad! keep it right.

yup youre not the only one who forgets things - JUST SMILE

Kids really respond to humor and cuttin up. David is doing a wonderful job loving, teaching and spending time with his boys. 🙏🏻

The time you give and show that little guy he will remember forever, good job on teaching him.

I love the relationship you and Cruz have! He’s so adorable! You’re a good daddy David!

What a blessing for Cruise to have dad #2 to love him the way you do and teach him life's lessons. God bless you David for your sincere efforts to be an influence in this young man's life.

Great job Cruise. A future hog trapper in the making.

God bless all y’all!!!!! Y’all bringing your kids up right!!

Yall are raisin that boy right David no matter what anyone else says & he's absolutely adorable. He's gonna be a good man when he grows up because of what yall are teaching him ❤❤❤❤

What a nice young man. The best part of my life was raising my son up....fishing, camping, hunting, 4 wheeling anything and everything outdoors. He enjoyed himself just like Cruz is doing. Everywhere I went, he went. You have some wonderful years ahead of you teaching and hanging out with that little man. Glad to see he is learning to hunt and fish with dignity and respect for all animals and living creatures.

Fun times! Teach them while they’re young. He’s going to be your best helper & already enjoying the life! Thanks for sharing!!! 👍🏼

your doing good David, i was Blessed that my parents raised me in a hunting/trapping and fishing family, it teaches you a lot about respect for game management , weapon safety and wild life laws and regulations. that all coincides with a lot of other things in life in general.. God Bless and keep on teaching the next generation!

Chad, I truly enjoyed this video. The first part almost made me loose my morning coffee lol. You are one in a million young man. Don't ever let anyone tell you different. Your relationship with Cruz is beautiful. You're teaching him the right way and the truth, which is how it should be. You can see his beautiful eyes light up when he's with you or talking to you. You are a great Father and I'm a 73yr old female who's been through a lot and dealt with a lot of difficult things. But I survived. Hugs for both of you and best always Rusty in Southern Oklahoma 😊❤❤ Very Proud of You 😊

I love that you are passing down the knowledge of hunting and trapping to the younger generation..Keep on knockin heads..

Awesome shot on that pig, Cruz, and on the same day, you catch a fish! AMAZING! David, I love that you share scripture, especially when you are having a tough day. Jesus is our answer, and he will guide our paths. I am so happy that you are explaining hog trapping not only to Cuz but to all of those who think it's inhumane. Why it is so imperative that we eliminate this invasive, destructive species. God's blessings on you and your family from Proctor Minnesota!

I love how you are taking the time to teach Cruz. And I really love the way you brag on his daddy to him. That's a phenomenal way to love a child that isn't yours biologically.

This is so kool. Five years old. I wonder if he knows how much he is loved, and appreciated? It’s great to have it all, you deserve the best.

Guys doing good guy stuff! And having fun. Mighty fine. And practicing gun safety! Love that.

That little boy's experiences with his father and David will teach him respect: respect for nature, respect for society, respect for God, and respect for firearms. The child sitting at home playing mass murder simulator games (just about every 1st person shooting video game), whose parent's withhold their time and neglect their soul, are victimizing some poor young child who will have the problems we're all concerned about.

That's what it's all about good family time 🙂

From the mouth of Babes! "We trying to make money"! My sons spent many hours sitting with me and watching game. Priceless.

I love the life lessons you are teaching Cruz. What a blessed young man to have 2 fathers to teach & show him not just how to do things, but the reasons why it is done the way it is. You treat him like your own son, and at the same time you refer to his dad both positively and respectfully. You are such a great role model!!

Cruz has me rolling man, this is tremendous! Great teaching and understanding what's real with a youngster in this day and age. ATTA BOY CRUZ!

You are a great father David. You are a great influence in both of these young men's lives shwing the ethical way to hunt and trap and also make sure that they know and understand the reason why it needs to be done and also making sure he was okay with. God bless you and your family David.

Nothing more honorable raising and loving another man's child and always being a great role model for him. -- GOD BLESS YOU DAVE ELLIS

Don’t be to concerned about forgetting things, I do it everyday. I’ve started making a list at the start of the day to help me remember. Thanks for the videos. God bless you.

Cruz is an awesome little boy... I agree with you teach them right from wrong ... God Bless

you 20 seconds to scan and it would make sure you don’t leave anything again. Great shooting Cruise and awesome teaching David. He was so proud of that hog. I love the way you build his dad up to him as well. So many things men can learn from this vi

There is nothing wrong with that little big man to learn the truth about life the way you and his dad is teaching him.i was younger than him when my dad taught me about hunting and providing for our family

The boy is definitely getting more comfortable in front of the camera ❤❤ maybe during the summer he might help out more

Ahhh my goodness... Cruse is the sweetest little boy!! You are a great Dad to him David! Keep shining for Jesus 🙌

I'm so incredibly proud of you as a man, step parent, step child, and raised in a step parent home!!! Sending you and your beautiful family Love!!! God Bless❤❤❤

Awesome video. A lots of life lessons could be taught by this video. I also like how you show your failures as much as your successes. Most media people show only their success. Thanks for keeping it real.

I'm so glad you teach the young ones those core values. I know God is smiling upon you. God bless always...

David you are a good parent. Glad you got number 60 today. 😃stay safe 👋

You are great a man. The way you are with that boy. Is priceless.

At a boy Cruz! Good job buddy! That adventure is golden! Memories that will last forever!

Cruz is a cute kid!!😄😊

Good morning my brother. Have a blessed great safe weekend my brother 🙏🏽 👍🏽

Way to go. The Yawt Yawt tradition moves to the next generation. Everyone says they are the “future” but they are the “NOW”. Thanks for being in his Cloud of Witnesses David.

Wow! Cruz is not camera shy today! His personality is shining through in this video. Awesome shot and fishing little man! God bless all y’all!! ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻

That was Priceless...when the 5 yr. old says..."We gotta make money"!

IN MY VIEW I love how you respect Cruz, yourself and his father in your relationship. Healthy family values. God Bless.

David you were wearing a nice 🔵 blue shirt at the end of this clip. You spent some good bonding time out hunting/ trapping hogs with your little man.

Got a good chuckle from your morning Frappuccino fog! Forgetting the trailer!! Good job, Cruz! One that needs to be done. K

"can i drive back?"...🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a smart kid💙

Mr. Yawt Yawt--American Sniper! Trappin' and cappin'!

15:58 Ain't no bluegill safe with you around now! I think Kruz is going to be busy this summer.

This was a good video. Like I have said before love seeing you with Cruz. Awesome how you r teaching him the tricks of your trade😂😂. Hope you had a great day.

Great job Cruz! He is quite the character. You are teaching him the right way.

I remember summers in Arkansas as a kid, farming, and slaughtering chickens on grandpas homestead. Family raised the kids. not just mom and dad. We have lost something in this world. I am happy to see yall keeping it alive.

That was one of the funest ones yet. 😂

Cruz is such a cool little fellow! It was awesome to see how excited he got about the hog!! Good job buddy!!❤ Now, if he could just teach Yawt how to fish...🤣🤣🤣

I love hearing Cruz talk , he is a hoot!

Good Times with you and the Cruz. Great Boy there. God Bless you and your family. Thanks for sharing.

what a cutey . he is so smart and loves his grandpa.

Nothing better than teaching the boys and girl's about our Jesus and how to safely hunt.

What an awesome video with you and Cruise. You’re bringing him up the right way. He’s funny and smart. 👍❤️

It’s terrific he enjoys your company and loves the outdoors and clearly you as well. Even though im daddy’s girl i have fond memories with him going deer hunting my first time. Kids never forget. You are a great parent to take the time to share your knowledge in a fun and respectful way

He said we gonna make that money children say what they think no filter just innocent…..🦋🦋🦋

He’s adorable! I can imagine what you two get into! Poor mama.

You had a great helper training your son is awesome.

Building memories for all to remember. I love it! I did the same with my kids like my dad did with us. You’ve got some good boys there. 👍 cheers!

Great job Cruz .... David it’s great to teach them while they are young and understand the reasonings to why you do land management! Great job !!!

David you are such a great role model for Cruz! And it sounds like his “biological” Dad is as well! Also great to see you give him credit and not like so many divorced parents do. God bless brother!!!

Your a awesome step father. He’s learning and you teaching. What it’s about David. Good job man.

Cruz is GREAT kid, Simply BEAUIFUL!!!

Congratulations to Cruz on his first hog!! I love how he says”We aggrevate each other till Mama ends it!” Kids are innocently honest. Good job David!!

You’re doin it right, teach the boy how to trap and hunt, the safest way possible. He’ll remember most all of those adventures for a lifetime. Awesome job guys!

Nice day for a drive. Thank you for being a fantastic example of dealing with disappointments. Bless you. Fantastic example of being father 🙂

Great day with that young man. It’s called making memories for life. Good job Dave.

It was so funny when the hogs were crossing, I was holding my breath waiting for you to shoot! 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

You are teaching your child about life, congratulations. Greetings from TURKEY🇹🇷

Just a great video from beginning to end. Love what you said about not being all fairy tales, rainbows, and pixie dust !! 😂 Cruz seems like a good kid that’s being raised well. Enjoyed the video bud. 👍🏻

Awesome video, love to see the chemistry between you two. Little man is learning.

I really like this video you need to put cruz in more wit you. Those kids say the funniest things😂

Thoroughly enjoyed the Cruze show today. He's a cutie for sure.

I love that you are training up your little man!😍

Love you taking Cruz that's awesome. Seeing you forget your trailer made me think about the time I drove all the way to the woods opened my bow case and I didn't have me arrows!

That's the way to raise kids the right way!! God Bless y'all and keep help to bring that young man up the right way!!

That was my favorite so far. Setting a good example.

David I love that Bible passage

Love this video, he is adorable and learning from the best

David, blessings from India! way to go and been enjoying your videos and great learning and stumbled into your videos few months back while trying to find solution to stop wild hogs from destroying crops in farms. You are a positive person and your have a great kid and family, Cruz is very adorable! You are a great Dad and bless you mightily Job

What a cute kid

Love the way you interact with Cruz. Good shot Cruz. God bless

A very special boy and please take this as it is meant you are both truly authentic. This was a great film - particularly liked the early footage of the large owl and the landscape background when the hogs were coming towards you was truly fabulous. We must not take this for granted.

Cruz is a great kid, teach him right and he'll make you and your wife proud.....................................

Man that was an awesome video! Cruz did great! I think mine needs a try now. She already said daddy I want to go hog trapping with Yawt Yawt.

Hi Mr. David whoo hoo another video to enjoy. Like I always say I am so happy when I see you have uploaded another video of your adventures.
