Daisychick's *Journal* New Baby and it Moos!!!!

Hunter safety classes, is exciting. Here in VA, the kids can hunt as early as you let them as long as there is a properly licensed adult with them, at least in our county. My son got his first deer by himself at 8 years old, but I have heard of kids hunting as young as 4 or 5.

He got his 2nd deer this year. At this point of our lives we aren't big hunters, but because of my son, my husband has been forced back into it.

He didn't get any squirrels this year, but got 3 last year, and he has been doing some dove hunting on his own this year. The first two he got my husband showed him how to process them and then the next couple he got he was able to do it on his own. He was quite proud of himself and we then cooked them for a side dish for supper.

I believe at 16 they have to take hunter safety.

I hope you all enjoy your class this evening. I am sure the boys are really looking forward to it.

My boys want to do shooting sports in 4H so they are required to take hunter safety before competing. My 12 year old wants to do .22 target competition and my 14 year old is going to do the re-curve bow. My youngest is excited because as soon as he passes hunter safety they give him his small game license for $1. And then he can also get deer, elk, etc. tags too. My oldest just wants to compete in target shooting and is not the "hunter type". I am taking it with them because I just have never taken it even though my entire family hunts.

Another busy crazy week has flown by here. One more round of Hunter Safety classes tonight. Youngest son has a dance at school tonight after class and then oldest son has repelling training Saturday morning on some cliffs near here. Not excited about the repelling because I am an overprotective worry wort mommy!!!! He joined a caving club and they have to practice for a few caves they will be touring in the near future. I like the caving part but not liking the hanging off of a 50 ft cliff on a little tine rope part.

The boys and I are done with our Hunter Safety class. It was 14 hours of classroom work and then an hour at the shooting range. We all 3 aced the test and seriously missed ZERO on the written test! WE all three did awesome on our shooting test too. I now have 3 legal hunters at my house. My 12 year old is already itching for a hunting trip. My DH doesn't hunt but will go along with us. So I guess we will be planning for deer season this fall.
