    Connors First Grass Thief

    My youngest son Connor is almost three and up until last night I hadn’t yet taken him hunting. His eldest two siblings got their first outings at about one year of age but he has unfortunately fallen victim of third child syndrome. Anyways, my boy Hunter asked me two days ago to go hunting again so of course we had to oblige. A nice evening mission produced some more cool memories.

    Short video to show the tale:

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Those bloody grass theives! How cool, makes it easier having some private land with deer to head out on to get them out young. My kids are going to have to wait until they can trudge sufficiently far into DOC land id say!
