to hunt or not to hunt

For Christmas Allison was given Cole's .22 that was his gun when he was a boy. He was soooo excited to give it to her because she has been asking to go hunting with Cole for a while now, so he thought it would be a great gift. They went to the empty field behind the house to 'sight' the gun the other day and she did really well. So, Cole set up for them to go 'hunting' today. BUT once she found out she would be the only girl going, the tears turned on and the howling began: "I DON'T WANT TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM GOING TO BE THE ONLY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!" (Poor Cole! I could see he was heart-broken when she said it.) :(
Oh, and when she found out she is not able to kill a deer, so she was bummed about that, too.
But, we did make her go, so we will see what the outcome is!
It was quite funny to see Cole pack for a few hours of sitting in a dear stand...he had a bag full of snacks, drink boxes, blanket, ipod, camera, and ear protection for Allison. At least he is prepared for the unexpected girl requests. :)
Maybe Allison will take some good pictures of a few big bucks I can post soon!
