Mighty Hunter


 
This year Nojah was able to hunt under the youth mentorship program which was really cool.  This meant that he got to hunt with dad and fill Tob's tag so the cost for Nojah to hunt was nothing and the experience he had being out with his dad, uncle and cousins was priceless.  From what I was told he calmly shot this guy from 165 yards on his first shot while he was eating breakfast.  He then took another shot while he was running and put him out of his misery.  2 great shots for a 12 year old with a big gun and not a bad first kill.  So in the upcoming weeks and year we will be feasting on deer hamburger, sausage, and steaks and sharing some with Toby's grandparents and his brothers family as well.  The best part is Nojah got his first deer on the morning of Shaun and Amy's wedding and arrived just a 1/2 hour before the ceremony was to begin.


 
and good thing at least Tob was wearing camo.  He didn't stand out too bad.
 
 
 
He actually kind of blended in and the mountain man appearance and blood on the pants were just an added bonus. We were super happy Nojah got his first deer and they made it to the wedding. It was a great day.

You totally crack me up with your comments about Tob the mountain man and the blood on the pants. I am sure he was content.

I'm glad for Nojah that he got his deer although I'm sad for the deer. I could never be a mighty hunter.
