The Count Down is on...

To hunting season that is. When September rolls around in our household, the boys get all excited for one reason.....Bow Season opening day is October 1st. It is a very exciting time in the Seniour Household. The hunting clothes are being washed in no sent detergent. We are making weekly trips to Rual King....just to look around. The boys have been out scouting their three new hunting properties and putting up tree stands and placing reflectors to guide their way to such tree stand when it is completely dark at 5 am. And of course there have been countless hours of target shooting. But let us not forget the lovely mix of aromas in the basement of new dirt and doe urine.

But this year is especially exciting....Levi will actually get to hunt!!! In years past he has gone out and watched dad, but now he is old enough to get a license himself and carry a weapon. Now don't get yourself all up in arms, we do not have our little one out there with a shotgun running through the forest. (although I would allow it with supervision and a firearms safety class)

This past Labor Day, the boys gathered in Papaw and Grandma Seniour's backyard to do a little shootin. They would take turns...Uncle Nick would take three shots...Dad would take three shots.....Then Levi would take three shots....(just like the men)Then you must inspect the target....Levi's arrows are black and white....notice the one in the dirt to the left, but most of them he made it in the target with the deer profile on it. And finally you pull out your arrows and start all over again. This goes on for hours shooting at different yardage away.

Good times.
Levi, "When are we going to get to go deer huntin dad?"
Dad, "Soon little buddy soon!"

The excitment is in the air.
