They are so proud to have gotten their first animals by rifle with their Daddy’s help: spruce hens! They even insisted on frying up the hearts and eating them right after their hunt just like Daddy does! While I’m not a fan of eating hearts or organs of any kind, they gobbled them up from the pan in a hurry!
Happy WW! Leave your links so I can drop by and leave a comment!

Well, good for them! I remember helping my dad hunt when I was a kid and I was always so proud. I can’t say that I’ve ever eaten the heart of anything though…those are some brave kids!

My dad always tried to get me to go hunting with him and I could never bring myself to do it. They look very proud of themselves!

They do look so proud! (Though I’m not sure I’d ever want to eat the hearts. I can handle a lot, but that’s a little much for me!)
Great photos!

The do look proud.. I always think its great for kids to know where their food comes from.. so they don’t end up thinking that milk just comes from a carton and not a cow!

Oh they do look excited. My mom has a photo where my brother (who was like 4 at the time) was dressed in bow hunting gear (with the black paint lol) with his little plastic bow and arrow set like he had killed this huge buck or something lol.

Awww, they look so proud! I miss deer meat, but no one here hunts. I married a city boy. I’d go, but it’s too cold and too early LOL.

I don’t come from a hunting family, so this is all foreign to me. Congrats to them, though. They look very proud. I eat organ meats, but no hearts for me either.

That is too cool. I remeber when I use to duck hunt with my dad. It was the best thing in the world. Glad they has fun and ate them. LOL
Happy WW!
Awesome pictures, they must of been so proud. I think it is great that they ate the hearts , true hunters! I hope you have a great day.
They must have really strong stomachs lol Nice pic
Good job to them but I will pass on the hearts and organs. Ewww
Wow, I am impressed!
I went squirrel hunting once with my dad. That was the end of my hunting days.
They look so proud!
Yeah, I don’t think I’d be eating hearts either. lol
Oh wow! How cool and I’m sure they will always remember this special time with daddy!

My first kill was fowl also.. Was trying to figure out what those were… Well, congrats to them… Hearts aren’t too bad… The boys (and yes me too) use to eat the deer brains with eggs for breakfast sounds horrid but is surprisingly good.. plus no waste of deer

Great shots (in more ways than one!)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. Happy WW!

Great pictures. They look so proud! Frying up the hearts after the kill, that’s a new one to me, and I come from a huge hunting family.

That is so sweet. My daughter talks about going hunting with daddy, but I am not sure if she will be brave enough. I know when she goes fishing with daddy she makes him bring the fish home and after he cleans them she makes him cook it for her. She knows its all part of the cycle of life.

Good for them!! I LOVE to see that some parents are still hunting and teaching their kids to as well! We’re going at the end of the month for White Tail deer!
LOL! Good for them! I’m not a hunter myself, but come from a family of hunters so I get the “thrill” of the first successful outing. Tell them Congrats!
Are those hens Grouse? I LOVE Grouse!
Happy WW!
