Duck Hunting

Last Saturday was the Youth Duck Hunt. Tyler earned his hunter safety last year and so he was excited to go hunting. They decided to go out to the pond behind our house. Bryce didn't want to get Tyler up too early because he had baseball games so they slept in and went around 8 am. After less than an hour I saw them coming back and I figured he didn't get anything because I hadn't heard any gun shots. But as he got closer I could see he was holding a dead duck in his hands and was beaming from ear to ear. He told me it took 3 shots, but he was very excited. This was his first duck he had shot. Last year he wasn't so lucky.

His dad then showed him how to clean and get the meat from the duck. I think that grossed Tyler out just a bit. Bryce wants him to try the duck meat, but it is still just sitting in my fridge starting to stink it up. YUCK!!

Brayden was excited to tag along too. He is not quite old enough to hunt and use a gun which I am okay with. He was in charge of Drake (the dog) when Bryce and Tyler went and jumped the pond. Bryce told him to not let go of him and as soon as the shots were fired, poor Brayden, tried his best to hold on to Drake who was freaking out and wanted to go into the pond. Bryce had forgotten to tell him as soon as they shoot he could let go of Drake.
