For as long as I can remember Katie has said "When I get older I am going to go hunting with Daddy and shoot a deer with my Pink gun"...well she didn't shoot this deer with anything but she did go hunting with Daddy and Uncle Blair (Blair's deer). She really enjoyed herself. I used to worry that the whole death part of hunting would bother her but she has been very much exposed to death of animals as food since we moved to the acreage, and Bryan has always been very open about his hunting with her. She did however struggle with the whole need for "Quiet" while hunting, unable to stop talking while they were in the tree stands. Thankfully for Blair, he had already shot this deer, before he got in a stand with "Chatterbox Katie".
As for the shooting, I was informed that she was shooting an airgun, at "Empty cans, because the full one will leak"! I can only shake my head, but I do hope that she continues to spend this time with her Daddy as she gets older, as it will be special memories for them both later.
Here she is mid-comment about something or other!
