Very generous and thoughtful of you! I'll have to figure out how to post photos and send one of my grandson with his first fish.

This is my current favorite. My daughter Sophie's 2023 spring bird. She's not a fan of this picture because I had her looking into the Sun and she was squinting. But if I could go back and change just one thing, I wouldn't change a thing!
Very kind of you Norm!

Very nice gesture Norm!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Re: Xmas - 6 Free Norms Arrows Contest
Cool, thanks Norm!
This pic was taken back in September, the first time I tried to have my middle girl sit out in the blind with me. it's special because it's a reminder that it is always worth exposing them to the outdoors, even when things don't go as planned. I brought along snacks and some other things to help occupy the time. Some memorable quotes from the sit:
"Whispering is hard"
"This is boring"
She lasted about 45 minutes before I had to have my dad buzz out with the truck to get her. But since then she's asked more genuine questions about my hunting and the deer, and might actually take a liking to it eventually, it seems.

Re: Xmas - 6 Free Norms Arrows Contest
Awesome of you Norm!
The Young Gun I mentored for his first Blacktail here on the Island a couple years back now.
Turned out to be the best taken that fall Island wide.
Young Gun was eleven. Spoiled for life!! LOL
Gave him the shotgun he took it with for Christmas.
Cheers

Central Texas near the town of Gatesville.
Browning Stainless Steel Stalker in .260 Remington. 3.5 x 10 Leupold.
Clint was 10 at the time. 2019, if I remember correctly. Time flies as you get older and they grow up.
Pretty sure the smile says it all.
His biggest buck to date.
