Thanks for the welcome back!!
Thumper, you ain't got a chance. Her eyes are 20/20 (and so are mine at 69) and she is a better shot with her Kel-Tec P11 (I call it a ZIM-9, than I am).
Got a special Weekend coming up 2/23-25/18
The last hunt I'll be hosting this year, over south of Quincy Fl.
Cattle Rancher is inundated with Squirrels (9 kids killed 48 on a Nov. hunt)
So we're doing it again! - among the families coming (and camping out) are:
1 A mother with 3 boys, 13, 9, & 8 - Only the 13 has passed HS so he will be hunting - Husband just deployed to Afghanistan 2 weeks ago. The 13 yr old and his dad came on the Nov hunt and out of 48 squirrels total for 9 kids, he got 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Kid can shoot.
2 A mother with 2 boys, 12, & 10 - Only the 12 has passed HS so he will be hunting. Dad is active duty Marine, Mom did 8 in Navy - was a Guard at GITMO for 2 yrs. Tough as Hell and grew up hunting. has 3 species of Turkey, Elk, deer, Pronghorn, and Bear to her credit.
3 Single mother with 2 boys 16 and 10, 16 is my size 6'3" 215 and fair shot with his 06', just starting on shotguns.
4 Two Veteran dads - Brothers with "minor challenges" they say. One lost an arm in Iraq, the other lost a leg. One is bring a 12 yr. old Daughter. The other a 15 yr. old son.
I check in after the 25 for sure and let you know how many they Killed and Ate!
On the Children's Miracle Network Committee, We're gathering donations for our Annual "Log-a-Load" fun ride for ATV's and side-by-sides. Every year we have access to a gigantic property owned by Coastal Lumber in So. Georgia. We put on a trail ride (not a race) as a Poker Run (best hand wins prizes, etc.)
Last year we had 573 registered from 8 months to 88. Raised $27K and every dime go to U of F Shand's Teaching Hospital in Gainesville. Yes I get the irony as I'm an FSU grad (I went to DSU because it started as a women's college and was 6 women for every man when I went, also - It doesn't cost any more to go 1st Class).
The ride is Mar 3 this year - 40 mile trail ride. Let me know if any of you can make it.
Safe Hunting to All.

But rather, to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...WOW, What a Ride!"
