A Hunt for the Ages! (4 yr. old's first kill)

[Dusty Nethery]

I was sitting in my office yesterday afternoon speaking with my boss when the telephone rang.

My wife's first words rang with foreboding, "Your son has something he wants to tell you."

"Why's he always only 'my son' at times like these?", I quipped.

"You'll see.", is all she said.

I could hear his heavy breathing as soon as the phone was near. Not good, I surmised.

And then the verbal onslaught, "Daddy, daddy, I was in the yard and I had my bow and (I'm thinking, Oh-no) I snuck up and shot (cripes, this is not gonna be good) a bulltoadfrog!"

"A what?"

Mom, in the background, "You shot a toad."

"Yeah, Daddy, I shot a toad. I hit him good; right in the neck. He didn't move at all."

My boss, overhearing the conversation, just smiles, shakes his head, and says, "that's too funny."

I, on the other hand, began to swell with pride and almost got misty eyed (I said almost). My wife was even good enough to record some field and hero shots for posterity.

Check out that shot placement!

"What's the point in being ignorant if you don't show i!"  That's what I did with my original post but now it's fixed!

Awesome! Tell your son he has a wonderful journey to look forward to in the future and I hope he shares it with us.

God bless,Mudd

Thanks for the laughs...I could only imagine him talking so fast he could hardly get it out!

[Dusty Nethery]

Thanks for the kind words! While I don't encourage him to shoot any and everything I couldn't help but be proud of his accomplishment.
