First Family Pheasant Hunt


Today my bro-in-law Nate invited me and the girls to go pheasant hunting at a pheasant ranch. We took out twelve pheasants and brought home 10. It was cool. The girls had fun. The guide's dog that came with us found a pheasant and caught it rather than flushing it out. It chewed the hen enough that it couldn't fly, so the kids ended up naming it Checkers and took turns holding it for the entire hunt. They eventually got bored and made a nest for Checkers. When we got back to the truck, Kolton who is six rang Checkers neck and we will be eating Checkers tomorrow for lunch. Kaitlyn started feeling sick and puked 20 minutes after we got home. I told Tara that know I have provided food for the family by sea, by land, and by air.

Mighty hunters.
