Terry was alluding to something earlier that Cade said to me....I'll get to that in a bit....

Before the hunt ever started and Terry and I were still planning things we of course talked a lot about things...especially about hunting with Cade. What we needed to do to make it a great experience for him, possible limitations, etc....

I also asked Terry if it would be alright if I could send Cade along on a hunt with just him....ya know just Cade and him.

I told Terry I'd really like for Cade to get to know the Terry Green I know and enjoy so much hunting with.
I wanted Cade to experience that for himself because I knew he'd enjoy the heck out of it.

Of course Terry said it would be fine, if that's what we wanted....


Before I go any further, without getting too sentimental or weird here....I just want to share something....

From day one  that Terry and I ever hunted together it always seemed as though we had some sort of connection....hard to explain...I mean really hard to explain...but it's there, there is no denying it, and every time we're together "something happens" to solidify it. This trip would be no different.  

I'll get to that later....I guarantee you'll you'll think it's pretty cool....


So anyway...
On the way to the four wheeler where Terry had parked it...Cade asked me where I thought Terry was.  I told him since he wasn't heading our way yet, I bet he'd gotten "into" something. But he'd be along soon....

Wasn't a few minutes later he asked again about Terry when we got to the 4 wheeler....
•  

I asked why he kept asking about Terry?  I mean I know we were both wondering how he was doing with his tracking job and where he was....but I asked anyway....

He said...."Oh just wondering....I like being around Terry...he's funny and a lot of fun to just be around....I really like him daddy!"

I knew right then and there that my boy "gets it" and was already enjoying the Terry Green that I know and love....

After we lightened up, leaving some gear at the 4 wheeler...we headed back toward "Sunset" to build a groundblind.

Last year when I was there, all the pines where still standing and it was a killer set up with a treestand about 15-17yds. from the feeder. I killed my 2nd hog of the trip on the last evening of that hunt.

With no trees there now, and it being hard to sneak up on, we needed get something there to hide in...it was going to be tough...but we had to try something....it's too good a spot to not hunt.

So Cade and I got to work....

My father gave me a baseball glove when I was old enough for little league but the greatest gift he ever gave me was to take me hunting. This waiting for the story to end has me worried about my age. I'm loving every minute!!!!!!!!!!

After we built the blind we headed back out towards "Woods' stand" and the truck. That's when we heard the 4 wheeler. Terry pulled up and told us what had been going on....   ;)

Sure is.

This is really great guys!!! What memories are made of.

Cade, I made that same stalk you did on sunset earlier this year. Only I tried to sneak through the water on the right side. Lets just say you made it farther than I did!lol And your boots were probably drier!!!!!!

Curt is right.....something special always happens when Curt and I get together....

And hearing what Cade said really warmed my heart...cause I don't have a son....but I would take him as mine in a heartbeat.  He's a great kid...

We were in camp the 1st lunch and I asked .."Cade, whatcha doing'?, and he replied "What ever you need me to be doing".  How's that for some raising?  He was a great camp hand for a 12 year old, always ready to help with chores....although we did let him 'day dream' also and do his on thing around camp.  That was fun to watch,....even though he didn't know he was being watched.  Yeah Cade, I was entertained by your still youth and innocence.

I'll get to my hog tracking in a bit...got to load up some pics....

A lot of us feel the same way Cade, Terry's enthusiasm towards the hunt is contagious!  I'm sure he is like that with everything he does...  

Great hunt so far, and eagerly awaiting the rest of it to unfold...
