My 13 year old son started shooting sports through 4H about 8 months ago. He qualified for the state shoot In the junior division in trap and sporting clays. He shot on a 4 man team . They took 1st place in sporting clays and 2nd place in trap. The big stage didn’t seem to bother Cooper. He shot his best round of trap ever with a 24 of 25. It was only his 2nd time ever to shoot sporting clays and he shot a 41 of 50. So to say the least I was a pretty proud dad. His coach was about as happy as I was. He was amazed at how well he shot with such a huge crowd around. Now we have to see if we get to shoot in nationals.

Gotta brag on my 12 year old son. Got his first bowkill ever this morning. He did it by himself cause I was hunting another property. He’s been hunting this buck since October 1st. He passed on alot of smaller bucks waiting for this guy and it paid off. I’m so proud of him to finally show that patience. He did shoot him a little too far back but he only went about 100 yards. I really enjoyed teaching him and my daughter how to follow a blood trail. It was a great day.

Had some nice weather so went and caught a good mess of largemouths the other day.

Had my first fresh corn from the garden. It was really good but about a week or 10 days from being fully mature. Getting lots of cucumbers and 5 or 6 tomatoes a day now. Man it’s great to be eating out of the garden again.

My pork loin is ready for the smoker today. First try for Canadian bacon. I trimmed half and left the fat on the other half. I’ll see what the family likes best. Smoking to IT of 145 to 150.
Wish me luck.

cdavis with the help of my daughter we fried some fresh largemouth using chicken on the run.

I got to hit the grill the last couple of days. It sure was hot but well worth it. One night it was porkchops 🥩 and zucchini. Then it was drumsticks and veggies. Yum

Did a rack of 3-2-1 ribs that turned out great with a pot of red beans and some garden corn .
