Pack 802 Space Derby

John Takes Nathan Hunting. . (for the 1st time ever!)


Now picture this; John, an avid hunter of anything that moves, well. . . almost, introduces Nathan, who has never experienced nature at its best, to the wild outdoor life of bow hunting. It all started one night when Nathan and Celina came over for dinner and John let him shoot his bow. That was all it took, Nathan was "hooked", and wasted no time making his way to Blaine's to purchase his first bow. After the date was established to go hunting, Nathan met John at the house around 8:00 (Nathan is NOT an early riser, so this was EARLY to him). After practicing a few rounds at the still target, they decided it was time to journey to their destination, with their blind in tow. On the way, they spot some turkey poo. . Nathan is amazed that John knows it's a Jake because it signed it's initials at the end of it's poo. . **snicker, snicker**(all turkeys leave the signature 'J') On up the mountain they go, with Nathan learning more and more about this wonderful creation that he knew so little about before the journey began. After reaching "the spot", they put up the blind and climb inside. John begins using his grunt call at which Nathan starts laughing at, only to get John tickled. So, now you have 2 laughing hyenas in a blind TRYING to get a deer close enough to shoot with a BOW! Is this not Jeff Foxworthy material?!?!? Although they didn't see anything, I think it was a fun trip regardless. It's absolutely hilarious listening to them tell all of the details. Not sure if they have scheduled the next trip :-)
