Seriously. These posts make me almost want kids now. I think I have actually started listening when my wife starts to talk about having kids, and wanting kids, and kids kids kids... Then I look outside, and see the little hoodlums running about, playing basketball, letting the ball bounce off the cars in the parking lot... But If I could get my kid out there, hunting, and fishing, and teaching him/her what my parents, and family taught me, there might be hope yet. Congrats to yours! Being pumped is what makes it fun...
here's after we brought it back to the barn to dress... here he is after dressing and his uncle "blooded" him a little (mom wouldn't let him do it properly... we're back out for another go for his buck on the 27th of december...
