Emily's 1st deer

 

 

Emily's 1st deer! She was pretty excited!

 

 

 Emily & Jake both shot a deer this day!

Everyone wanted in on the picture =)

One day

Was this little boy ever happy to get to ride along in the big semi with Daddy!!  He packed his little lunch box with snacks and they hit the snowy road for 1/2 a day together in the semi =)  He came home with little stories about his ride and a can of Mountain Dew & 2 suckers (leftover that he didn't already eat!)  When they got to where they were going to dump the load, the lady there let him pick a few treats! 
He and his daddy had a lot of fun together =)

Kids Hunt

 My 2 hunters =)

 We went over to our land and it was the PERFECT day to be outside.  Love the colors and the view.

 Joe & Emily paired off.

 Jake & I in the tree stand! 

 Handy tree branch hook for my ever-present water bottle.  =) Jake got a kick out of this, especially since it started sliding farther down the branch

 My view down!

Jake shot a buck! (Actually this was during bow hunting, not youth hunt...but anyways, he shot a deer this season~(Or as Meri always asks when they return from a hunt...did you CATCH anything? ;-)

Lately

 BB gun hunting boy--went with Dad & Jacob the other day.

 Buck target

 They had fun with the horns before they put them on the deer.
