Been waiting for this day for years!!!!!

Last weekend I sat through the hunter safety course for the second year in a row. This time withmy son, last time with my daughter.
He is not old enough for big game(deer/bear), but can hunt small game.
Well, he is rather relentless and managed to drag me out into the woods to hunt squirrel(did not have to try too hard)
This is a result of our hunt, after patiently sitting in the woods for 20-30 minutes, this bushytail managed to get a little too close and my son managed to take him with his Rossi .410 shotgun.

What a great experienc for a dad to take his son out for his first hunt, first harvest of game, and that eating what he takes is part of the whole circle.

The proud new hunter

Yes sir that is a landmark day in a boys life, and you were there to share it with your boy like every father should.

Congrats to both of you

Thanks.

Thanks guys, I am blessed that my son likes to hunt, shoot and fish. My daughter likes to hunt and shoot as well. My son and I just bought a 20" center console fishing boat. Needs work, and we are fixing it up getting ready for the maiden launch.

You have something good going on there, I felt the same way when I came home from work one day and my better half had a whitetail strung up and was going to work, I didn't know she had already finished the first one. We ate good!
