Indy's First Hunting Trip

Indy went hunting with Nicky for the first time, this past weekend. On the very first morning hunt, Nicky killed a deer! It was a spike and Indy was sooo excited! He was right there when his dad killed it. The only reason Nicky didn't give Indy the shot was because it was waaay too far away and it was behind some trees. Otherwise, Indy might have shot it! Here is a picture of Indy with the deer on the back of the buggy before they took it in.
Indy helped Nicky gut it in the woods and then drag it back to the buggy. When they got to camp, Indy helped Nicky while he skinned it. Indy was so excited that that deer (and shooting a gun) was the only thing he could talk about for days! I think he's hooked. He even wants to skip his choir Christmas program next weekend, even though he's got a solo, just so he can go hunting again!
This is a picture of Indy working with the chains to hold the buggy down on the trailer so they can head back to camp. He had a great time this weekend and I'm soo glad he got to go and spend time with his dad (not to mention the deer!!).
