I have been terrible at posting pics lately, but have a few good ones to put up.
The kids and I were out doing some crane and goose hunting North of Bismarck two weekends in a row with a good friend. Now Kirby is a crane hunting junkie. You have to be warped to love hunting Sandhill Cranes as much as he does. He has tree stands set up around the area with 140-150 class whitetails coming through regularly on trail cameras and never seems to get around to hunting them. He says he would love to sit in the bow stands, but it would interfere with his crane scouting in the evening.
Like I said a nice guy, but warped priorities in my opinion!! Kirby makes it easy and fun to bring the kids out on some great hunts with lots of action though.
This was Jakey’s first year laying in the decoys and doing some shooting. He is very responsible, but it’s still nerve wracking making sure he is always being safe with the gun. Jakey did well and got his first goose. He also got his first crane, with an assist from dad. Julia also had a good time watching the birds decoy and picking up the ones that hit the ground, in between snack breaks of course. She even mentiond she would like to try shooting the youth shotgun and/or rifle I bought for the kids last year. This surprised me and I hope she follows through with it this coming summer.
A 3:30 wake-up call and a good breakfast before hitting the road!
The decoy spread.
Ready for Action!
