Carl has been pretty busy with trying to take all three kids hunting and still finding time to hunt himself. I think he is surprised at how much the girls like going! Carlie literally loves it. He took her a couple of weeks ago and she missed a doe. Makena went yesterday, and saw nothing but a coon! Well it was finally Trey's turn and he killed a button buck. Carl said they couldn't see the horns when he shot it. He didn't care, though he was just as happy as could be :)
He was so excited, although you can't really tell in this picture.
We ate it and he thought he was going to tell everybody how many pieces they could eat because it was his deer!
Makena isn't nearly as "in" to all of this as the other two are.
She is my girly girl :)
This is the picture Carl sent me when I asked him for a hunting picture!
Really?!
This morning Carl decided he was going to hunt a little in the backyard. We always have deer back there eating the oats he planted. He expected to see a few does, but boy was he surprised when he saw a HUGE buck. It wasn't that it had a lot of points, but the size of the deer itself was massive.
The neck on the deer measured 25 inches. It is a good 9pt.
I know, the tongue sticking out is rather gross!
It's been a pretty good season so far! The girls still want to go again and actually kill a deer, but I'm not so sure Dear old Dad is ready to give up "his" time yet :)
Just remember, Carl, you created this desire for hunting in them!
