Hunting Season!

Tis the season!  No, not Christmas - HUNTING!  Just one more great thing about fall!  My husband does his grocery shopping in the woods and I love it!  He processes his own kills - can you say "fresh?"  A lot of hunters are trophy takers and Paul loves the pursuit of a big buck too, but he is such an ethical hunter that he won't shoot what we can't use.  The great thing about this love of his is that he passed it on to our son, Alan, and they regularly hunt together.  In fact, they've been hunting together since Alan was 3 and Paul has taught him a love of the outdoors and a respect of God's creation.  That truly is "Church in the Wild Wood."

We had the trip of a lifetime a couple of years ago - went to New Zealand for a week's tour, then another week at a hunting lodge where Paul and Alan brought home 7 trophies between them.  Couldn't bring the meat, but it was donated to the locals and fed the lodge guests, too.  No waste for our hunters, even overseas!

More updates to come on the hunting scene.  Our freezer awaits the game!
