Proud dad indeed!

Imagine how much better off we would all be if more kids were out rabbit hunting after school, you know, like it used to be, when things WERE better.

There is alot of truth to the saying "take your kids hunting so you don`t have to hunt for your kids".

Tough bugger too, he is. Bare hands and all! I don`t know how far Dansville is from Hale, but it ain`t far enough to for it to be too much warmer than it is here.

Tell Jake congrats!

Proud dad indeed! You certainly should be.

Happy hunting Jake!

Looks like you have a son to be proud of, rabbit hunting with a longbow in the snow. Congrats to you and your son.

That is TOO cool.  My 15 year old son sits in front of his computer and game stations and all that crap.  Getting him to do something like that would be like trying to pull teeth out of chickens.  Be proud, be very proud.
A bad day of hunting is still far better than a good day at work.

Looking good Steve!!  Jake is a great kid and one heck of a shot!!  Good to see he is out hunting instead of in front of the computer on TradGang like his Ol'man!!  :bigsmyl:
