Saturday morning we headed out bright and early... 5 am early... to go out west looking for bunnies and coyotes. Kennedy was so adamant she wanted to shoot a bunny. It made my heart proud! Kennedy and Chris pretty much slept the entire way out there. We had a coyote cross the road right in front of us but it was too dark to shoot. We started out in Grouse Creek. Miss K had never been there before so Grandpa Todd wanted to give her the tour around. Dusty and Nickie were out there trapping for the day. We stopped by their cabin and visited for a minute. From there we went down the old railroad grade through the Terrace area. We ran into 3 coyotes in a pack not too far away. The truck came to a screeching halt and they were on a dead run. We had them about 450 yards from us hell bent for leather. We all 3 threw out a few rounds but didn't kill any. We went down the rail road grade and stopped every little bit to call coyotes. We had one or two answer us but none came into the call.
After a few calling stops it was time for lunch. We know how to tailgate! We had all the sandwich fixings, chips, cookies, licorice etc. We brought all the ingredients so everyone could make their own. SO much easier!
After lunch we got out the guns and set up some targets.
Kennedy couldnt wait to shoot. She just isnt quite big enough to shoot the .22. She had a really hard time trying to hold it up and look through the scope. All the stocks were too long for her to handle so we had to help her. I think its time we need to buy her a kids .22 with a little short stock.
She really loves shooting pistols and they are a little easier for her. Grandma let her shoot her little old school double action revolver. Grandpa helped her and she loved it. She didnt want to stop.
Our cute little family picture
There are no words for this.. I try to get a picture and you never know whats going to happen with this one!
We didnt see anything else to shoot and took the long way home through the hogups and the salt wells. It was such a fun day!
