Good times, good times !!
Excellent weather today. Free time. Decided me and the kid would take a walk in the tree farm and let her shoot her Crickett .22 for the first time.
Getting ready for the walk...
Making sure neither one of the neighbors are up to "no good"...
Everything checked clear. Time to hit the tree farm...
I've posted before about the coyotes in my back yard in the mornings. This pic shows where we see them in the evening noted by the red "*'s" and their den. We always see them late on the ridge, just in front of the upper field...
Half way down to the bottom, the kid shouts "Look Dad! A prairie dog!"...
Sure enough! Right here in WNC! A prairie dog! Kids tickle me. Damn, I'm shaky with the camera on 16x...HELLO MR. "PRAIRIE DOG!" lolz...
Anyways, time to bust a few caps...
Not too bad for a seven year old rookie. In a few years, it'll be "Au revoir, Mr. Prairie Dog."
Also found this track in the bottom today. Woot...
A few random shots walking back up to the house...
My apologies for all the pics.
I love my kid. I love my wife. I love my dog, guns, and the outdoors. I don't have enough time to spend with any of them. When I do, it's good times. Had to share.
