Our Second Year of Hunting

Making jerky

Jack and his Doe

I think I forgot to post about the boys all getting their hunting licenses and going hunting last year.  Quickly, I just want to post that Jackson is our hunter.  He got Bo and Conrad to do their hunter safely so they could go.  He absolutely loved coming home from school and studying all that information.  It was fun to watch him learn something he loved.  This year they drove to Mackay in freezing temperatures, down to the teens at night.  But that wasn't stopping them.  I don't think anything would have.

Right now, they just hunt deer and go for an extended weekend.  They camp in the RV and take the RZR around looking for deer.  Jack got a deer last year, and so Conrad got the first shot this year.  But, Conrad decided Jackson could have the first shot because he wanted a bigger one.  He shot and got his.  Conrad shot a got him, but they were never able to fink his deer.  Such a bummer.

But, they had a great time together anyway.  I love that they get to go and have some "man time" together while learning a skill.  Bo is such a great dad (so much more fun than me).

Bo took Conrad another evening last Wednesday with Brayden watching.  They had fun but weren't able to get a deer.  Well, there's next year.  Also, next year Brayden will be 10 and get to go with the boys.  He will LOVE it.

Here are the highlights!

Such a gorgeous place!
