Best hunt this year!
« on: December 29, 2015, 09:34:04 PM »
 Took my oldest grand-daughter (13 yo) out duck hunting. Enough birds flying to keep our eyes busy. No rain. Light south breeze moved the grass enough to help hide movement. Heated up a couple of homemade egg and cheese muffins, deep-fried a batch of breakfast sausage/cream cheese/diced Jalapeno and green onion wontons in lard. I had a Thermos of black coffee, she had a Thermos of hot chocolate concoction that she called Swamp chocolate. We even brought out some Whip cream. She's not allowed to have ANYTHING peanut butter at home because of little sisters allergies so I packed along a baggie of Reeses peanut butter cups (she devoured them). Taught her how to identify various birds in the air. Quit hunting at 11:00. A great day waterfowling.

 Also taught her a little bit of ranging, shoot/don't shoot.

One of so many reasons we do what we do. I can't wait to have a grandchild to do the same.

Awesome!  Glad you had a good time.  Is there a way to skip children and go straight to grandchildren?   ;)

Also taught her a little bit of ranging, shoot/don't shoot.

You should teach that to a lot of grown men hunting geese near my place

 Grandchildren are cool. Kind of a second chance in some ways.
