That Time of the Year

dsc02149.JPGOctober brings cooler temperatures, bow hunting and in some states Pheasant hunting. I am reminded that this fall will be the first year in four years that I will not again be hunting those beautiful, if sometimes elusive, birds with my dad.

This picture is from our trip to Mitchell, SD last fall. He was a really good shot and killed his fair share of those birds!

Someone told me that I must necessarily go through a year of “firsts.” You know, first birthday without him, first holiday, etc.

Well, this is the first hunting season without my best hunting partner. I sure miss him. But, we will meet again with the Lord.
