Success!

"Ring, ring"...
Mom: Hello?
Jake: Mom, we got her!
Mom: you got what?
Jake: we shot a doe, I am standing right next to her!
Mom: Yeah! That is awesome!
Jake: we got her mom! She jumped over some fences and she ran...dad, how far did she run?....she ran 50 yards and we got her!

Imagine how excited a 6 year old can get that was how much enthusiasm he had when he called me! It was one of those moments when I wish I had and automatic recorder to capture that moment. Priceless!

I thought Ted would take Jake out hunting on Saturday morning and call it good. I was wrong. Ted and Jake went out together all weekend. It was very cool to see them. The love of hunting and the outdoors is getting passed down to another generation. Jake is counting the "sleeps" until he can go out again this weekend. I just hope Jake doesn't wake up at 4:55am ready to go like he did last Saturday!
