Bear with me a minute here. A little outside the norm for Campfire discussion I know. Our oldest grandson, Hutson, just finished up kindergarten this year, learning to write (and read obviously). One of his last assignments was to write “book” on a favorite subject of his. He loves to hunt with us and has taken deer and Turkey this year himself. He always tells me we’re “Huntin’ buddies” but he desperately wants to be “elk hunting buddies” with me. So much so, he wrote a book about it. I know it’s corny but it deserves sharing. First page shows a beautiful 5x5 bull. 😏 ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/YSkRpVry/755106-F2-5-DA3-4538-AE65-C7-E364-A24527.jpg) Last page: “Elk are the best because I get to hunt with my Pappy “…that’s me. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/jSvcScDx/0-E74308-B-6-E2-C-497-A-8-B79-46941044954-C.jpg) Love this little guy. Our son and his wife doing a great job with him and his sister. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/NFwm42KC/6-EB1-EC84-10-F0-48-AC-BAD8-3-D3993-F40896.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/gjdLR97f/EC1-E0-D35-98-C2-41-AF-A030-62-CA8-E51-E7-B9.jpg)

Hank, the little guy is getting big, fast, and he’s smart, too!
Looks like Hut, has his eyes on a Vermejo bull.

Awesome!!! You should definitely be proud! In this day and age it seems so many parents and kids are stuck in the digital/social media craze. Great job getting him outdoors and teach him!

Stash that away for when he is grown and gone. My oldest is 41 and I have some of his stuff from when he was young but not much. Wish I'd kept more.

Fantastic start to a life afield.
We have a drawing like that of me fishing from when our oldest son was about that age, it's framed and proudly hanging in our house...great stuff!
