We didn't just eat dinner and go and sit on the couch and watch TV. :) Good job Caleb James. One shot... perfect shot....nice deer. I was glad to be able to be there with you. Your little sisters were tickled as well. And I know the rest of the family was, too.
Robin and I carry on a tradition that my parents adhered to as well. Our kids don't get rich working on the ranch, but we do want them to enjoy the benefits of hunting on the ranch. I am not against pay hunting.... I just feel the fringe benefits for our crew is worth so much more.
When ever we hunt, we count our blessings... whether we get something or not. And when we do have success, we realize the beauty of the creature. Hunting is not just about killing. It is about stewardship. It is about the outdoors. It is about family. It is about a way of life. It is about tradition. All of which we care about.
