The Mighty Hunter!

After 3 or 4 of the hottest November days I had seen in a long time and after 3 or 4 days of bonfires, tractor rides and screaming kids running through the woods; the deer hunting was pretty much over. So Bub decides he wants to go squirrel hunting.
He received for Christmas a couple of years ago a single shot .22 rifle so we gave him 3 bullets and told him to take off. After about an hour he came back with this. His mom or I could not have been more proud. A 12 year old boy heads off into the woods alone and comes back with his supper!

You kill it, you clean it is my motto so his Papa and me give him some pointers and he's off to the races.

Skinned it out real nice.

Then Papa showed him how to tack it to a board to salt it and cure it.


Mom fried it up. Hunter eats meat!


The BIL had never had squirrel (go figure). Another first!
