One Proud Momma

With hunting season upon us Rachel decided she didn't want to hunt this year.  I guess she's become too girly to be sporting camo, boots, guns, and any other hunting paraphernalia.  I can't say I blame her. 

Of course Joseph jumped at the opportunity to possibly use her .243 that Dave purchased last year.  So this past weekend Dave took him out for the very first time.  He was beyond excited.  Telling everyone he was "hunting with his Dad this weekend."  He talked about it constantly.

While waiting for dinner to appear this was the spot they sat in for several hours. 

Then this six-point buck appeared out of nowhere.  First time hunting, first shot, first kill.

 

Not only was Joseph thrilled about killing his first deer but also surprised that it was a piebald.

 

What's a piebald?  An animal, typically a mammal, that has a pattern consisting of white and brown patches.  The result of a genetic defect.

 

I am so proud of my redneck boy and thankful for my redneck husband who is teaching him the sport.
