    Saw Nothing - But Jordan And I Had A Good Time :)

    Well Jordan and I did not see anything when hunting yesterday. So, he did not get to use his new 12ga with double OO or even the six shot he carried for squirrels during the middle of the day. Nothing moved, we did not even kick up a rabbit. I didn't get to pop a cap on my 8mm Rem mag either, but we sure did have a lot of fun and at the end of the day we went to our favorite eating place. Here are a few pictures of our time together which really made for a special day. I sure do love this boy, what a blessing he has been in my life.

    We were sitting in a natural blind in the thicket and he is a motionless hunter, does not make a bunch of noise.


    A little fun time while switching positions.


    He is always looking for sign












    Jordan's new shot gun


    Safe with his guns. I wanted to see if I had to stop him before he crossed and I didn't have to remind him. We are hunting squirrels at this point and he unloaded his shotgun before crossing that little ditch.

    Most excellent!
    Lord, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to do harm to me and mine. But Lord, if today be the day that you call me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.

    Fantastic. I almost forget there are places that are not buried under three feet of snow.
    Anarchism is the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion and liberation of the human body from the coercion of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of government. It is a social order based on the free grouping of individuals.

    As an old friend of mine once said, "Sometimes the fun stops once you pull the trigger." He was an avid gun collector (and by avid I mean we were never able to take a full inventory of his guns because we'd just run out of steam and loose our place) and outdoorsman that HATED cleaning and dragging game. His greatest joy came from being outdoors and enjoying nature with friends and family. He used to call it his "taking a gun out for a walk" time. I have since learned to appreciate his thinking and there have been times when a walk through the woods with one of my kids would have only been interrupted by game if we were actually attacked.

    Yep...Just being there with friends and family is often enough....most times as a matter of fact.

    Jordan's new shot gun


    It's all in a good time! I've been out with my grandson Blayne for about 4 days straight. We have seen does and one buck that we coudln't ID as a shooter, but we had a good time. He is taking tomorrow off because his dad will be off, but I'm hoping he will go with me for the season finally on Saturday and Sunday. He is using the .250 Savage I had built on a Howa action with a Krieger Barrel. That thing just shoots and the recoil is almost non existant. Nuthin quite like taking grand kids hunting.

    Amen Snake, nothing quit like being with them and sharing part of their life leaving them with memories of someone loving them and caring about them in a special way. Yes, memories to carry the rest of their lives.

    When my daughter shot her first buck this year, it was by far the best time in the woods I have ever had.
