Well, James started out this August getting a deer on his very first bow hunt. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures on digital camera to post of that, but suffice to say, it was very exciting for him and Mike that he did that. What an accomplishment and we have to thank Uncle Dave for getting James into bow hunting. Dave is an AVID bow hunter and James looks up to him and enjoys his time with Dave when in Arizona. Mike has made an archery range in our backyard for practicing and James, along with Mike (who has decided to join in on bow hunting next year) practice when time allows. The newest member of our family to join the ranks of bow hunters is Mark. He asked for and received a bow for his 8th birthday and he is determined to hunt with his idol, big brother James. Mike tells him that if he starts practicing now, he actually might get a deer by 12 years of age instead of 14 like James, and that motivates him. Last week, Kaylie, our sweet, beautiful girl, has decided she wants to do hunter safety and bow hunt also!!! She has been outside practicing with the boys too. If you're wondering if I will join the rest of the family, the answer is NO. No, no way, no how, never, will I EVER be able to shoot Bambi, Bambi's dad, uncle, brother, or relative! I much prefer to wait at home. I love venison (I made a fabulous venison, sausage and black bean chili complements of CookingLight magazine) and as long as I don't have to see the poor deer prior to it being cut up and put in nice neat packages, I'm fine. I'll leave the bow hunting to the rest of the family!
