    Default About as proud as I can possibly be

    My 7 year old daughter has been talking with me about wanting to shoot a turkey this season. I’ve been explaining to her the boxes that she needs to check before I will feel comfortable taking her, so she has been shooting cans and pumpkins with the mossberg .410 each time we go to the farm. She has been spot on, so we decided to give it a go with the wood ducks on Saturday morning.

    Her mother and my almost 4 yo son sat close by to watch and she handled it all like a pro. She sat in my lap in a turkey chair, I took the safety off, and she handled the rest. The first drake lit about 15 yards and she smashed him. Same with the second. She is trying hard to follow in the footsteps of her hero (Cali’s daughter Jane), and is well on her way. I couldn’t be more proud of her spirit and her hard work.

    Pretty cool day for our family.

    Head, I’ll see you this week

    Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

    He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

    They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands

    I’ve seen a bunch of stuff in my life, but it doesn’t get better than this.
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    Good job Dad
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
