Been For Dam Ever I know...again

i recently took my Utah Hunter Safety class and here is how it went. 25 or so people with a few girls 20 or so 12 year old boys and a 31 year old me. It was funny. The little guys were way into it. They knew all the animal species which i had no clue of and were fun to watch shoot. Some of them looked 8. On the shooting test you had to shoot a .22 30 times and get 15 0f 30 inside the kill zone on a paper rabbit. Each kid was sweating as the intructor added their scores...13...14...15...16, then i sigh of relief. I on the other hand went 30 for 30...no big deal, ha ha.

so i am now official. my first hunt set was to be "DUCKS"...ive been told they dont taste very good and i say ill be the judge of that. My rules for hunting is that everything i shoot will be eaten and i am not interested in being a trophy hunter. So you will n

ot see me out there looking for the big buck or elk. next year ill go for a cow elk or something. its all about the meat and experience for me.

so as of now ive been out duck hunting twice and only halve one kill to show for it. its hard to judge how far is too far to shoot with a shotgun. i love it though. i catch myself staring at the scenery too much but thats part of it for me. i havnt eaten the duck yet. my buddy Cody likes to age them a little then cook them so we should be having duck dinner here soon.
