Jimmy Neutron Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Groceries $271 Groceries brought home after 3 teenage boys and 4 days - about $7 I feel lucky to have not been eaten myself. Wow. Gas for truck and ATVs - $210 Ammo and targets for the boys - $250 Jimmy being stalked by a coyote while on the toilet - priceless. It's true. I was attending to business on a nice commode we constructed in a grove of cedars when I noticed a coyote come around a tree about 200 yards away. He could tell I was out of place, but could not tell what I was. He crouched down and belly crawled through the brush to 45 yards and stood up slowly and stared at me. I was downwind from him and dead still, so he couldn't ID me, but then he heard the boys back at camp and moseyed on out of there. Sadly, I'd taken my .45 off my belt for my trip to drop a bomb. The story would have been even better if I could have shot him while sitting on the john. Bambi was pretty safe with our group. We were trying to get the boys their first deer, but they weren't fast enough to shoot the many deer we saw. They didn't care we went home empty-handed - they had a blast just seeing deer and doing a bunch of target shooting. One proud papa note - my 11-year old was a little afraid of his shotgun recoil last year, so I only brought 2 boxes of shells for him. This year he loved it and was smacking clay pigeons pretty well with it. He got mad because he ran out of ammo so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westvirginia Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 So you know a Da Yoopers song? Is that who does it? I've heard it before, but didn't know a thing about it. Other than that verse. I think I was pretty stoned when I heard it, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Trick Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Two weeks until i take my 8 year old on the youth hunt, and neither of us can wait! He hit the center of a paint can at 60 yards with a 30-30 scoped rifle and with a open sights .625 Jap sniper rifle. He is going to do great!

darin3 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm bummed I don't get to go out to my wife's family camp in Louisiana this Thanksgiving holiday. She doesn't have enough time off of work, so my parents are coming out from California (which is a good thing, of course). Last year, the guys in the family (wife's cousins, uncles, etc.) headed out (with leftovers in tow) to a camp about 2 hours north of Baton Rouge, close to the Misssissipah border. Since I'm an out-of-stater, my weekend consisted of drinking beer, watching football and hanging out at the camp. Did get to help pull a couple of bucks out of the woods (and cross a bayou on a little rowboat) and chase down some wild hogs. Such an awesome time. Will have to wait until '09.

Chargerz Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I can just imagine how much fun the kids (and adults too, for that matter) had on this trip! Some of my fondest memories growing up were the good times I had on fishing and hunting trips in Canada with my dad, uncle ,and cousins. Coyotes weren't the campsite problem we had.....it was BEARS ransacking our stuff while we were away each day. It happened more than once.

Perchoutofwater Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I love taking the kids hunting. All of the blinds we build and buy are two person blinds so we can take the kids out with us. My girls love it. We get to spend time together, and I get teach them about nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
