All,
Caught some grief about not telling this story. So, here it is/
Talk about lucky. My daughter, the one that doesn't shoot, but is not against it, agreed to a hog hunt. However, as much as I wanted, she decided to hunt with her uncle. This was a stand hunt in texas, and after picking a stand, and doing some prep work in terms of clearing, she settled in with her Uncle Dave for a hunt.
What a time! Annelise saw a lot of smaller pigs, but absolutely refused to shoot a small cute pig! In fact, she kind of enjoyed watching them. But when the big ugly pig came our and chased the little ones off of the corn, she decided that that mean pig deserved to get shot. Not to be outdone by any boy, she decided to earhole the pig with a small (0.17) cal rifle, with my brother shooting backup with a .300 weatherby mag.
She shot, and the pig dropped like a stone. I came and got them a bit later, with camera in hand, but she insisted that we take her back to camp so she could clean up, take off the camo, and put on make-up. Small price to pay, so I did that. Here is the result.
Eric and Annelise
Dave, Annelise and proud Dad
By the way, she likes to hunt, but we don't get to go often due to her rather busy social schedule. But, any boy better watch himself, she shoots well. and so do her 3 brothers. not to mention dad, Uncles, cousins, and so on...
Keep the heritage alive, take a kid hunting!!!
