Hunting season is just kicking off and the first squirrel hunt of the year yielded no squirrels. We didn’t hunt long and this was basically a short outing just to get things going for the year. We did see some ducks in the creek and the minnow trap had some tadpoles and small fish in it so it wasn’t a complete loss.
Squirrel hunting can be fun, but it can also be a good practice run for deer season. My son loves deer hunting, but deer season isn’t open and a few squirrel hunting trips help to prepare him. Because he is 10 years old, being still and quiet doesn’t come naturally. Actually during deer season is the only time being still and quiet is even considered. Squirrel season is a good time to practice the hunting skills and make sure the hunting gear still fits. We did find out today the boots had a tear so we will be making a trip to buy another pair.
The main thing was the time we spent together outside doing things we enjoy. Nothing can take the place of quality time with your son, because they grow up so fast!
