Another Training Day in MT

[thecrittergitter]

Well, as sad as it is, i've been slacking in the training department for the two upcoming killers this fall. Finally got them out again last night only to have a big downpour come in about 30 minutes into our sit. I have sure had some enjoyable and downright awesome days in the field this fall, but these simple nights with the boys just seem to be the best

Working on the "you cant say shoot it to every single animal that walks by" for them They talked me into shooting a raccoon the last time we sat and last night they were trying to convince me to shoot a barn cat that was catching mice under our stand Man, i do hate cats though..............lol

THey are strapped in, the pictures you see are as i'm following them up so until i get up to them, they can't really get hooked in

Great pictures with great big smiles! Very cool critter. I am sure they loved it.

You're doing it right dad, they'll always remember "huntin' with dad."

 

[stillkickin]

Way to break em in! Nothing more fun than kids at those ages!

 

[Gerald Martin]

Great job Matt! You'll never regret taking the time for "training." Before you know it they'll be dragging you around to their favorite spots.

I am laughing my butt off after reading that one. Because it is just flat out funny and because everyone of us were the exact same way when we were the age of these youngsters. I remember eating a coot that my Dad let me shoot. His rule was if you shoot it, you eat. I would have eaten a skunk it he would have let me hunt them. I did eat a few sparrows and red squirrels and would not recommend them to anyone.

Classic American experience right there. At least for the part of America I grew up in. Hilarious Critter.

Just gonna take a wild guess that cat does not taste good at all considering they aren't much above a skunk for me......

 

[elk_hunter]

LOL, fantastic pics! Perma-grins! Those kids sure do enjoy being out with their dad hunting; great job teaching them right, tcg. Watch out MT when they are old enough to have a tag!

 

[HUNTMAN]

Love the smiles. Looks like loads of fun.

Funny stuff Big Fin. We've eaten a robin and a red squirrel here under that same mentality. The kids were having a hoot about having robin meat for supper.

They look like vicious killers, good job!

That brought back huge memories for the wife and I! We had all 4 boys from ages 2-8 in my archery antelope blind once on video. You will not believe how fast time passes from here.. Congrats and enjoy every moment. Thanks for the pics and story.
