Once again, thanks all....I know how blessed I am. John, you're right....after that shot "bounced" I was thinking wimpy too! The only thing I can figure is I was shooting a three blade, and it hit "just right", I guess, I dunno.
Shooting animals is what we are out there for, but passing this stuff on to my boys, and getting to share these past 10 years afield, as they grown to be men is more than I can put into words. Those of you who have done the same, know what I mean. I hope this can inspire some others to do the same with their kids...and spend every minute you can with them. My dad passed when I was 18, and I had to learn all this stuff largely on my own...but being able to share it with them has been my greatest sense of accomplishment.
