How do you follow last year when our little sniper takes out her first deer in her first season ever at the age of 10? Well you take aim & miss sometimes. Mommy was amazed at Brie's excitement to get out in the stand with Daddy for another season, she really does love it & Daddy couldn't be more thrilled.
Daddy, Brie & Papa 2011
While not a single flake of snow blanketed the ground this year, the wind certainly made up for it, both weekends saw warm temps between the 50-60 range, but again that wind on that first weekend was brutal. Weekend 1, saw Daddy take a med sized doe on Saturday,which filled their doe tag, only bucks left for the Sunday hunt (Brie had acolyte @ church so it was just the boys that day). Daddy reports that he had a very antsy shooter in the stand, she kept asking "Daddy can I shoot that sign?" Daddy wisely responded "No honey, it's a $500 fine if you do that." followed by "Daddy can I shoot that tree?" "No it will scare away the deer.." It went on and on, clearly she was ready to blast away at anything, never thought our timid little girl would be so eager! Luckily she was able to take a shot later that night (missed but got to shoot!)
Weekend 2, the wind was gone & everything was eerily still, which meant complete silence! A large doe presents herself & Daddy lets Brie take the shot, she misses. There will be many of those in life sweetheart, don't sweat them, there will always be next year! Many great memories of hunting with Daddy & Papa, big brunches at Hillcrest, warm amazing meals made by Nana in the evenings & the shared thrill of the hunt were had yet another year. Love you & are so proud of you peanut!
Papa & Daddy set up paper plates so Brie could use them for Target practice!!!
Taking aim, thank you Papa for taking these great photos!
