A First, and The last

[Guru]

I have a little patch of rabbit heaven by my house, but sadly I don't get to hunt it much. It's tight to houses,and I don't dare shoot a gun in there so it makes it perfect for the bow.

 Being to day was the last day of our small game season here in NY, I figured I better get in there so I can at least say I did it once this year.

 I also decided to take Cade on his first bunny hunt ever. He wouldn't carry his bow, but he sure still wanted to go when I asked!

With only about 45min. till dark we had to hurry a bit. But I did manage a few running shots, that Cade got to watch. He also saw some bunny's that I didn't see as they snuck out the back door on me, or they moved out of nearby cover while I pushed another.

He didn't care for the briars at all! So I don't think he's quite ready for the JLMBH. But with another year to grow, a little bigger and stronger, we'll see about next year.

Only problem is now we both wish we had more time in the season to do it again!

Glad that you and Cade had a last chance to go after them together-time well spent. Hopefully he'll get over the briar thing, pretty sticky for a young one.

Cool,I thought about hittin that spot down the street from me yesterday with my LB but figured I'd better let Sonny's tail rest a bit as I may go up north for their last weekend.Close's the 16th up there and I haven't been up since last fall.

The kids at the JLMBH didn't care for the briars either go figure

Pretty cool Curt, I'm sure that it won't be long before the briar's a just a simple nuisance to Cade and he'll be right along side the rest of us at Shawn's......I can't wait for the day he comes with you.

Did Vance say WY antelope hunt? I'll bet we could make that a father/son hunt with a lil effort. And then, there's always trout school. I figure, we need to start us up a camp out west, don't you think Guru?  

[Shawn Leonard]

I believe Cade will be there next year, he can do the first few pushes and the girls(Cindy, Nicole, Allison and Heather) can keep an eye on him until we get back. It sure is nice to get out and hunt with the kids. The kids hunt at the bunny hunt was the highlight for me!! Great pics. bud!! Shawn

Yall aren't gonna leave me out on the antelopes  are you?  

[Tim Kosteczko]

hey curt glad you were able to get out and were able to take cade with you. like everyone else, i too enjoyed the tbm article. congrats on both.

Curt, take advantage of every opportunity you get to spend quality time with your son. It seems that it's gone before you know it and then all you have left are the memories you made while you had the chance. I wish I had taken the time to keep a journal while mine were growing up so I could go back and relive all those wonderful moments in time that are soon hard to recall.

Puff up that chest and stick out that chin and be proud of yourself and your son. It obviously a strong team that's only going to grow stronger.

Lil' Brother Sky...of course not! With 2K acres, I'm sure Vance has a spot to pitch your tent    Hope we all get to share it together someday....

[Guru]

Joe, you bet bud!!!  He gets invited more places than I do!  

Shawn, I believe you might be on to something bud...

Sky, don't worry bud, we won't do anything without you and dad...

Pop Keller,  If I do half as good as you did with Curtis     ...he'll grow into a fine young man....luv you guys!

Thanx Timmy and everyone else......too bad we waited so long to go....he sure wanted to go again yesterday!!!

[LAR43]

I have to echo Pop Kellar Curt. Before you know it they're taking you along like you did with them just a few (?) years back.
You're raising a fine young man in a great tradition there.
