Took my nephew out to the woods because this weekend is a special youth hunt. 15 years old and never been hunting and now he knows why I have been making him practice off hand shooting all summer long. Later on I will take him squirrel hunting but this was his first ever hunt. No game taken but clear skies, mild breeze and 80+ degrees it was an excuse to hunt in shirt sleeves. I'll have to get him hos own blaze orange before gun season starts but for now my vest while a little loose on him kept him legal. It was my chance to teach him some woodsmanship and that alone was worth the trip. Teaching him how to look, listen and walk in the woods instead of the front yard is a big difference for him.
Posed shot for a picture for his mommy and Great grandmother who told me no pictures, don't come home.
This is typical of the dead fall, this part of the forest is dry oak savannah and is a challenge to hunt. I love it almost as much as I loved the desert.
