Hunting. My husband is now a hunter. A few weekends ago (I'm a bit behind), my hubby went hunting in southern Iowa with one of our friends. Our friend and his family own over 1000 acres of land in southern Iowa (great hunting grounds) and have a cabin on the land along with a shed, multiple deer stands, video cameras, and plenty of hunting equipment. This was Brad's first hunting trip and I was so excited for him! If I hadn't been pregnant, I probably would have gone with him. My daddy is a hunter and I used to go with him when I was little. I would hike all over the mountains with him, help him gut the deer, and he would let me shoot at targets when we were done. I loved it. So, I was happy when Brad said he wanted to get into hunting. Deer meat! Can't get much leaner than that.
Brad left Friday night, spent the night at the cabin, and went hunting at 5 am in the morning. Apparently it was wicked cold and they didn't see a thing. The guys went back out later that afternoon and Brad shot 2 deer! Him and Brett were in a deer stand when Brad got his first. Within 10 minutes a second deer came and Brad got that one too. Brett got both kills on video, so I got to see the hubs in action when he got back.
I'm glad that Brad got his guys weekend and that he had a successful first hunting trip! You go baby! I was one proud wifey and can't wait till he brings home some more!
