Deer Season

Last weekend was the opening day of bow hunting season here. Naturally, as I have referred to in another post, DH is totally psyched. Danny wasn't able to go out with him b/c that was his youth group trip to the amusement park (also referenced in a prior post), but DH spent a lovely Saturday up in a tree. Here he is all decked out:

(Can you see him? He's standing there just in front of the tree, lol!)

He said that it was pretty quiet all day, although there were about 10 hunters all out in the same area (!). At around dusk, when the deer tend to come out and forage for food, he said there were 4 yahoos on atvs joy-riding through the area. Gah! No chance of deer with that going on. But even so, he always appreciates being outside with nothing pressing to think about.

This coming Sat., he and D are both going out. Here is a picture of D practicing in the back yard with his cross bow:

And here is his shot:

Bullseye!

I wonder how long D will be in his blind before he gets bored.
