Hunting... and more hunting

So Eric and Braydon have both had some super fun hunting so here are some of thier stories.
BEAR
Eric and Luke about 700 yards from the truck.
Eric and his Pride and Joy.

Eric's bear before he shot her with a bow and arrow. He has never shot a bow and arrow in his life, so he did really well killing this bear in two shots.

BEWARE: The following video contains naughty language, and some gory guts

BADGER

This is a badger that Eric saw out at work. He and his coworkers like to kill bunnies and mice by hitting them with rocks. One day it was close to quitting time and they were driving around getting ready to go. Someone in the truck said they saw a critter and Eric said it was too late to go "hunting" but then he noticed it was not just a bunny, but a badger. Eric slams the truck into reverse, jumps out , and gets the badger backed up to a fence. This thing is flattened out and hissing (these things are really really vicious) and Eric yells for someone to get him something to hit it with. Someone gives him a fence post... he hit the thing in the head a few times, and now it is another trophy for us to have in our home.




ELK

So Braydon was drawn for Elk. Just today he finally got it! It is a pretty large cow (female). He was so excited, jumping around with his friend and showing off the bullet casing. He shot it once in the back, and then shot it again in the neck before it could run off. He did very well, especially for being 11 years old!
