youth hunt

This year, Princess participated in

the

 YOUTH HUNT

this was quite the ta too!

See last year she shadowed 

or did what is referred to as

the MENTORSHIP program 

under Machine Man

this year..

it's HER turn to hunt..

and 

this year

we don't just have Papa

aka Machine Man

eager to teach and guide..

we have

MR. T

gruff

and loving

hard

and yet so tender and kind

this new friend

is a friend indeed

and is quite taken with all the blessings!

He is eager to share his stand

and show our young huntress the ropes

to equip her with wise counsel

and sage experience

of an seasoned hunter

here they are climbing up to check out 

Mr. T's super groovy

VERY warm

deer stand

here they are checking the 

"web cam"

how techy is HE?

pointing out trails

and rubs

all prepped and ready for tomorrows hunt..

Princess will be hunting with her Papa

first on our land

then on Mr. T's

talk about 

a popular huntress… 

and are you ready?

here she is!

ready and eager

While youth hunt was just ONE weekend

the big deer season is nearly upon us

and 

this year

I will have three hunters in my family

increasing my chances of venison in the freezer..

and I can NOT tell you how thrilled the idea of that makes me..

organic

free range

venison

killed in a human, sportsmanlike fashion

rather than..

the alternative...

whilst Princess did not get a deer 

during the Youth hunt this year..

she gained valuable experience..

missed a shot

and has her own story to tell now

a story to add to the firelight chats

and late night hunting tales.

May the Lord bless this years Hunt..

may it be fun

and may it be SAFE!

happy hunting!
