Josh and our neighbor, Sol, decided to fire up the schools' snow machine and go moose hunting this fine Sunday morning. It's partly cloudy & 17 degrees, so weatherwise, things have turned up. Two days ago it was -42 degrees here with the windchill!
The boys always get excited when Josh goes hunting.
They love to check out his gun (don't worry, it's not loaded!)
and they love to talk about how when they're bigger they will go hunting with daddy.
Josh packed some food, water & supplies in his back pack, brought his big gun for hunting moose and his small gun for bears (if necessary) and then got all geared up.
Layer upon layer to fight against the cold!
The boys followed him around all morning like little puppies.
And then when it was time for him to go, they hugged him tight
and wished him luck!
Good luck, babe!
Hope it's a successful hunt!
Had Josh hunted before coming to Alaska. My Dad hunted when I was younger, one of my two brothers hunts as does his son (deer hunting). My husband does not hunt and one of our two sons does.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how that all works.
I found your husband's blog and your blog while doing research for teaching in Alaska. It has been a great insight about what we will be getting ourselves into. :) Thanks!
