This morning Katherine, Michaela, and Shan went out for a morning hunt after the season opener yesterday proved absolutely frustrating. It was a perfect morning: calm, crisp, sunny. Of course, I did not witness this, it's all hearsay. I was sound asleep, snuggled into bed.
Katherine really wanted to shoot a buck, and do it by herself. After almost turning around to head back to the truck, they spotted a whitetail. Katherine dropped it with one shot and no assistance from Daddy-O. Then the work began. They had to drag it out over hill and vale due to a conflict with a neighboring landowner. It all made for a more exciting, albeit tiring, time.
Grandpa tootled up into the woods to look for them, thinking he knew where they may meet the trail. Sure enough, he found them. I am not sure who was more excited to see him with his little truck, Shannon or Katherine! We met them at Grandma's house and Katherine had a smile a mile wide. Nickles was so excited for Katherine. He just couldn't get enough of all the action. Seeing all the brothers and sisters happy for a sibling is beautiful.
