HUNTING

Labor Day was the opening of the Dove hunt. Doug was pretty excited to take the boys on their first hunt. He went out and got them all geared up with camo pants, shirts, hats, etc... They woke up bright and early around 4:00 am. They had a really good time, although they didn't get any birds. They went out with Doug's brothers Scott and Lynn, they made a fire and cooked breakfast. Doug did tell me that their were times he was a little frightened, he said he would have visions of one of the boys accidentally shooting him in the back or something, but luckily all went well. It ended up being one of the coldest and wettest days we have had for a long time, which apparently isn't good when hunting doves. So they got out their clay pigeons and shot those. Tyler and I just stayed home and hung out. Tyler told me later that day that maybe in a couple of years he might want to take hunter's safety. Which is pretty funny, cause the whole time we tried to get him to shoot the guns and take hunters safety with Josh and Haden and he said, no, i think shooting a gun is boring. Well i think now he realizes that there is more to hunting than shooting a gun, it is more about hanging out with the guys. The sad part to me about that statement was I told him, when he decided he wanted to start hunting I would take hunter's safety with him, thinking that he will never really want to, now, it looks like maybe one day i will be the one taking hunter's safety, YUCK!! Oh the joys of having boys!
