Landon the Hunter

Ready to go bow hunting...

I think he may need to find a bigger tree :)

He even learned to drive the gator this year!  Off to the blind with Dad!  Notice the BB gun in the gun rack and him telling the cows to move out of the way.

Here is Snowy peeking through the hole!

practicing his aim on a few targets :)

Posing by Dad's doe - He definitely has the pose down!

Daisy loves ranch life as well!  Looks like she was a little too close to the deer cleaning on got dripped on!

Snowy in his hunting spot.

Landon ready for the big hunt!

Landon is a true outdoorsman, and will jump at the chance to go to my parents' ranch in Goliad whenever he can!  He had watched some hunting shows and decided that he was not going to sit in a blind...he was going to take his bow and arrow and walk around in the woods (with Pa) to find deer, pigs, etc.  He came home so excited and could not wait to tell me that he had shot his arrow at a deer but the deer saw him and ran away before the arrow made it to him.  I must say he has a pretty good arm and can make the arrow go pretty far!  He then sits with his dad in the blind for the evening hunts and enjoys seeing all the animals, including the mouse that visits him in the blind that he named Snowy!  Snowy became a bit tame this deer season and would sit on the ledge behind them as they hunted...glad I was not in the blind with them!  Landon received not 1, but 2 BB guns for Christmas...1 from his Dad and 1 from his Uncle Ryan!  He was thrilled and has already enjoyed shooting targets with them and he has also shot at several animals!  He says he is ready to shoot a hog, and that when he is 5 he will shoot one!  Being that he turns five in a week, I guess he will be doing just that sometime in 2012!

I'm very impressed by Landon's all-around outdoorsman skills! Gun, bow, fishing pole...all that's left are knives and spears!!!
