My First Pheasant Hunt!!!

This last weekend we went up to Logan for some family fun. Todd's brother Kevin graduated with his MBA, so his wife Candace threw him a surprise party to celebrate...the party was great! Congratulations Kevin!!! Todd's sister Melissa had a little baby boy a few weeks ago so they also blessed him this weekend. He is a cute little guy!!

Well, this weekend was also the open of the pheasant hunt so you can guess what else we did!! We loaded up the whole family and headed out to shoot us some birds. This was my first real hunt so I didn't really know what to expect. My boys were sure excited and so was Todd. We were only a few minutes in to the hunt and I had myself my first pheasant...wow! I was so excited...so excited that I started jumping up and down and cheering while holding my gun. (I will have to work on that!) I couldn't believe that I really hit it with my first shot and only one shot...yea for me!!! I must have just hit the wing on the pheasant because when it hit the ground it took off running. Thanks to Uncle Jim and Sage (the dog) for chasing it down for me. Then Grandpa Mullen had to ring its neck to finish it off for me. Thanks for all the help everyone!

Briggs got to go on the hunt too. He hung out on Todd's back and slept most of the time. He even slept through the sound of Todd's gun. What a good baby!!

I only got the one pheasant but Todd got two more and also a Hungarian Partridge.

We had a great hunt. All together we got 15 pheasants. Jaygen and Pace and all the other kids were great during the hunt. It was a big hike and they all made it. Who knew bird hunting could be so much fun?!
