It's been dry here since August and the skeeters are gone. I sat in my deer blind this evening till dark hoping for a look at the bear that's been hitting my deer feeding station and never saw or heard a skeeter; or a bear either for that matter. Deer season comes in next saturday...Geo

I did a little more messing around with my camera this morning. This is my DeHaan 28 gauge side by side that I picked up used 10 or 12 years ago. It is a sweet little shotgun.

The photographer captured while capturing the shot: Sherburn county, MN. taken this afternoon. We had a nice little hunt. The picture is my son and a roadside grouse who ran under the truck and back across the road after his picture was taken. Best, Ted

My oldest grandson's first deer. Our GA general firearms season opens tomorrow, but this week has been our black powder early season. Youth under 16 may use any legal deer weapon during this week, so the BP season doubles as youth week. Emory bagged this nice doe this morning up at my middle GA farm with a NEF 308 single shot. He will be 9 sometime this month so, at 8 he's way ahead of me when I killed my first one...Geo

Some have privately questioned the wisdom of letting an eight year old shoot a deer. Emory has accompanied his dad hunting since he was little and seen a lot of'em killed. His father was in the double seated ladder stand with him when he shot the doe pictured above. As evidenced by his expression in the picture, I don't think he was unduly traumatized by the experience.
Just like everything else, effect depends upon the individual affected by the first kill of a large game animal. In this case, I'm proud of the boy and consider his first deer a milestone in his personal development...Geo

Geo. I don't even know the boy and I'm proud of him too. Mike
