The girls have gone out with me before, but today was Abi's first hunt as a shooter. She turned 12 this year and got her license last week. It was a beautiful fall morning. My buddy is breaking in a new dog who did really well and my daughter was able to pick up her first pheasant.
It was pretty darned funny. The dog flushed the bird, Abi took a shot and then the bird smacked a hickory tree and fell stone dead. I'm not sure if she even hit it, but she's claiming it!
Next Saturday is opening day of rifle season for Junior Hunters. She told me where she wanted her blind and we are all set set up and ready to go.
(I came home with 2, so I did alright also. But who cares about that
