I'm so excited for Loch! We got the chance to go out a few days ago for bear. As much as I was frustrated by the domestic dogs running around, the horseback rider and the motorcyclists making noise, Loch couldn't stop smiling and continuously blurted out ( In a slightly too loud for the woods voice), "This is awesome!" First off, I blame you all because when we decided to go out, we only had a few hours but Loch was dead set on bringing ALL of his new gear! I had to deny him on a few of the items and told him that those would be used on longer hunts. We alternated between him holding his rifle and me holding his tripod and when the rifle would get too heavy, he would use the tripod as a cane while I took his rifle. Ultimately, the hunt ended with Loch on my shoulders, a backpack on my back and a rifle in both hands. Loch didn't care, he was having the time of his life just being out in the woods. Fantastic memory for a proud papa brought on by all of your kindness.
