Hunter (11) and Ryan (8) both passed their hunter ed last month so we finally got to head out on our first hunt. We took a trip east of the mountains to a spot I always find grouse. Unfortunately there were a number of bow hunters out there stirring things up, so we didn't have the place to ourselves. Luckily we were still able to locate one nice blue grouse, Hunter's shot was on the money, and he showed no hesitation.
We ended up seeing 4 nice mule deer bucks, 16 turkeys, 25 elk, and a squirrel. Ryan asked if he could shoot the squirrel, but he had to settle for some paper targets with his Crickett .22.
It cost me a tank and a half of gas and some part of my exhaust system, but it was well worth it.
