End of Hunting Season

Well, deer hunting season has come to an end. My son and I spent the last Saturday of the season hunting for the elusive "first buck" for my son. This year has been a huge success because he has seen more deer than any other year, and actually killed two does. He has grown so much and has learned to be quiet, still and patient. He still has a little to go, but he has gotten so much better since last year.

He has developed a love for the outdoors which makes me very happy because he shares one of my passions. I haven't pushed it on him, but gave him the opportunity and now he wants to go hunting or fishing all the time. There have been times I would have stayed home or went home, but he was so excited and wanting to stay that I couldn't bring myself to leave. Any time I can spend time with my son is time well spent.

Snow Pictures




We have been doing an unusual thing in north Alabama; Playing in the snow. Here are a few pictures.

Good Times

Spending time outdoors has become a precious commodity and I relish every moment. My son and I have been able to do a little hunting and we look forward to some warming temperatures. Coyote hunting, hiking, and fishing loom in our future. The only enemy is time which doesn't seem to cooperate, but that make every outing very special.

Great Article About Coyotes

Coyotes are plentiful in north Alabama and this is an interesting article about their future. Coyotes are here to stay!
