Duck!


Since spring Cal has taken the hunter safety course, turned 12 years old, and received his own shotgun. Now that autumn has arrived, so have the hunting seasons that Cal is interested in. He went on his first hunting excursion last weekend with Dad. They got up in the wee hours of the morning, paddled across the bog in the canoe while it was still dark, and set up their decoys and waited for the ducks. Cal's first opportunity came shortly after sunrise. He took his first shot and got his first duck!! Look how proud he looks! The mallard became supper a few nights later. Now he's looking forward to going out again and moving on to other hunting seasons.
