The Fearless Hunters

Ahh... September First... one of my personal favorite days of the years as it marks opening day of Dove Season. Jason has given up on hunting things with legs... too much effort, perhaps, combined with our inability to consume that much meat, plus time away from home. But-- the Man loves the Birds. Bang, bang, bang, bang... lots of shooting, minimal time from home. When he announced that on Jake's eighth day of life that he had been waiting HIS whole life to take his son bird hunting, I obliged. It was, after all, part of the 'catch' of coming to Idaho- an outdoorsman's paradise. Sam had a wonderful time out with Daddy- and is now the "retrieving dog" that Jason has been talking about for years (NO DOGS now...just KIDS! please). They have since gone once more and are heading out again tonight. Sam the Retriever
Hopefully this was a lesson in gun safety
