Successful Hunt

My favorite hunter shot his first doe of the season on Saturday (the internet's been on the fritz since then or I would've posted that night). He went out to check out the trails and find his way around, so Robert wasn't with him.

Needless to say, he was very excited, as this was his first night out at the new hunting club in SC. Even better - he had to drag the deer up a steep hill afterwards. It had run down the hill in the few seconds before it died. Clever deer--sticking it to the hunter.

Daniel took Robert with him (he's a Jr. member of the club) Sunday after church was over. But, the next few nights were very windy as a cold front or two moved through, so Daniel and Robert didn't see anything besides foxes and such. And it was 29 degrees!!

They'll probably try again next week.. I'd like to load up the freezer for the year. The meat is so much better than Publix b/c there's no hormones or meds given to the deer. It's very lean because these deer are raised on soybean fields --instead of having to live in a tiny stall at a meat farm their whole lives. Much nicer for the animal to have a normal life.

Happy Birthday Daniel!!

(I've noticed I usually post these birthdays a day late, due to all the excitement and just having a too-full life! But, sometimes I just don't get to sit down long enough to worry about posts!)

So Happy Birthday Daniel! Not going to post which one, but he's thirthy-something.....

I couldn't find a more manly, loving, caring, giving, humorous, wonderful guy. I can always count on Daniel to do the right thing, keep a level head, and stay in control of the situation.

I love you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
