Good start to 2011

[Calif. Hunter]

My son, Michael, our friend, Brad and I went on a DFG Heritage Apprentice Hunt on Jan 8 out towards New Cuyama. This was Michael's second year hunting, and he is much improved. Always a good rifle shot, he's now pretty good with a shotgun, too. Two shots and he had his two birds.

That second bird was pretty well dusted...

It was chilly for us - about 45 when we first started. The Fish & Game sponsors have the kids show that they know how to operate the gun, make sure that gun is not too big for them (often small kids show up with a huge 12 ga,) and then they shoot at a couple clay pigeons. Mikey got both of his. They also make the adults huting go through this. too. Naturally, I missed the first shot. (Honest - it was just to bolster Michael's confidence. ) Brad got both of his, too. (But I still got the first pheasant - a passing shot on a bird flushed by another group of hunters.)

A great day with a friend, my son and some birds.

Brad's girlfriend, Elaine, came along and took the pictures - she did a great job!, She just got her Hunter Safety Certificate and license, so she can sign up for these hunts next year. Here is a shot of Brad getting his bird with Michael ready in case Brad missed. (Michael had not yet gotten his second bird...)

Congrats, it's great to see the youth out there. If you like to watch birds work there's not a lot that beats roosters getting airborne from under your feet.
