We got the too big rifle covered with one of his uncles lending him an early chipmunk until he grows into the CZ Scout I picked up for him last year.
That old beater rifle lives behind the seat just in case the PD's try to overrun us.

Those are just the greatest.
Keep them coming, enough other type of "news' on here that these pics are well received by me (and plenty others I bet)
Thanks, Geno

Just saw this. That shot of him walking away with the gun over his shoulder is a classic.
What fresh Hell is this?

Got a chipmunk from one of his uncles. By summer it is going to fit him pretty well. Look out PD's then.

Little man FINALLY got his first prairie dog, about 30 yards with his borrowed chipmunk with no assistance. He is stoked. About a week after his 5th birthday.

I got to pick up little man up from school for a quick look around to see if I wanted to try to fill my doe/ fawn antelope tag with him in tow.
Conversation after about an hour and a half with seeing no antelope.
Buddy you are pretty quiet, are you bored.
No grandpa I'm fine. I'm having fun.
I said, it can be kind of boring when we can't find what we are looking but we are having fun and that's all that really matters.
Yea
I told him that it an get pretty exciting when we see antelope;
His response was classic.
Grandpa it will get REALLY exciting if we see a rabbit, while holding his Chipmunk 22.
We have another hunter.

I had decided not to fill my doe / fawn antelope due to low numbers on the 2 ranches I usually hunt. Little man had other ideas. We made one last stab at it yesterday and found that the antelope had moved back into one of the ranches. Saw a bunch Our first successful antelope when he was with me. He was pretty interested in field dressing and helped a bunch. Big grins and he has to have some steaks to feed mom, dad, and little sister.

Thanks for posting the picture Mike, It made me chuckle every time I saw it but I didn't have time to reply till now. I see his trusty Cricket and he's out with Grandpa making meat. He's a lucky Little Man to learn to hunt and share the memories with you!
It'll be some years from now but I can see him thinking, " Wow, I've been a hunter all my life". Well done, Grandpa!

School at three. That is truly sad, He should be out building stuff, playing in streams, fishing, and discovering ants, frogs, salamanders etc. Did no sort of school until I was six and I fondly remember those being great times.

It started when he was actually 3, he is now 5 and is in K. Believe me he is getting muddy and dirty every day, helping his dad with ranch and farm work, making traps? shooting bugs with a bb gun and doing what 5 year old farm / ranch kids do. and hunting with grandpa. Little man is growing up fast
