She got it done

[ShadeTree]

Man that's excellent! She's having a heck of a first year for sure! Tell her congrats and well done on your part also.

To clarify, this is her second season. Last year, she got the button buck. This year, she's got a buck and a doe so far.

Oops, didn't see the original date I guess your new post bumped it to the top. Even so she's rolling right along. Well done!

That smile still looks great...!! Congrats to her! I don't think you are a hunter until you've come back from a miss. CL

That's just awesome, congratulations to the young lady.
Her smile just makes me grin.

That is just great! Congratulations to the young lady. You have every reason to be proud of the manner in which you invested in her, and she has every reason to be proud of her abilities.

Awesome! Congratulations to the young lady and her mentor. She had a heck of a day and it shows in her smile.

Well, my kids all got their opportunities when they were growing up. It's a joy to teach a new hunter and see them succeed.

Oh, I forgot to add: She insisted on doing the field dressing, as well. And was not squeamish about getting her hands bloody. She got the most out of her day afield!

Good job taking her out!!!
That quote reminds me of a day with my elder son. I was hunting with a friend and took my boys with me. They slept in and I killed a fallow deer.
I took it back for dressing, he came out to assist.
Dialog, him starting.

Paps, I am hungry.

I fished in my pockets and found some nuts and raisins, tossed the bag an went on. He leaned against the garage saying

Paps, some of my classmates would call me strange.

Ok, being strange fits quite well in general, but I asked 'why?'

Answer: well, they would throw up seeing that and I stand here eating!

I had to contemplate that for a moment, agreed and thought 'how great is it to have 'strange' sons

Strangely wonderful! Congratulations on raising a son who realises that death is part of life. For us to eat, and animal must give its life. The wheat must be cut down and the grain threshed. Your story reminds me of a young man who was called out by his mother to watch me butcher a bear. His first response as I began to skin the bruin was to exclaim, "Ewwww! That is gross." As I continued the task, I began to point to the different organs. Then, I began to track the path of the bullet, explaining the physiology behind the disruption of life systems. Soon, the lad asked if he could have a knife and join me in exploring what had happened. I suspect that how we approach the task at hand will determine in great measure how younger individuals will respond to what they are witnessing. On several occasions, young ladies have watched, and even helped, as I cut into an animal, explaining what we were seeing and discussing the role of the various organs. Few every remained disgusted with what they were witnessing when it was explained to them.

Reminds me of another day - friend calling: Frank, Marcel has to give a presentation about wild boar in school. Do you have some trophies he might take with him?

Sure - a hide and some tusks. BUT I have a field dressed boar hanging in the shed - so he can take whatever he wants.

Silence on the other side, then 'I have to talk to my wife. Will be back in a few minutes.

They came over and he had his head all the way into the chest-cavity while I explained what was inside.
In the end, I cut off a lower leg so he could demonstrate the characteristic foot-prints and I never heard any negative feedback from school.

The kids are much more open than the non-hunting parents.

If we want hunting to go on on any side of the big pond, time spent with the young is time spent very well.

Btw: will take that kid clay-shooting in December

Good for you, sir. And good for your "strange" son. As our society becomes more and more urban, we lose touch with the fact that there is a circle of life, and for every piece of meat on our plate, something had to die. And that the killing is the easy part, and that there is work to be done in getting the harvest from the field.

In the case of this young lady, she treats it as though it's a biology lab. After dressing the buck, she stopped to cut open one of the testicles, just to see what it looked like inside. Absolutely no aversion to any of it.

Yeah - common question: why do you hunt and not just buy meat in the supermarket?

Common answer: why don't we go to a slaughter-house and then hunting and you will never ask again?

Good answer. Supermarket shoppers don't stop to think about how it got there inside the meat counter.

 

[noslerpartition]

I am.a food chemist and saw some slaughter-houses from the inside.

What we do is way better. I firmly believe in that
