Until then, I am enjoying occasional opportunities to take other children, youth, and young adults into this wonderful world. I can honestly say I get as excited and nervous as they do just before they pull the trigger. I do, however, temper my celebration until we see the evidence of a well-placed shot lying on the ground. I then go nuts. I think what intrigues me about sitting in the blind with different hunters, is how each come with different personalities, expectations, and desires. The younger ones are so much fun. My fear is that they may face a future without the ability to hunt, whether it is because of those who are anti-hunting or because of the friendly fire that is coming from the ever-increasing license fees. I digress, but I needed to say that. When taking these younger ones hunting, I prefer to take them to the barn loft where they don't have to be too still and where the weather is not a factor. The bales of hay also make for a perfect gun rest. This was the case with nine-year-old Riley and me. We had situated ourselves overlooking the field, just behind the bales of hay and just in front of a small heater. We were watching two doe when another one seemingly appeared just to the right of our opening. It couldn't get much better than this even though dark was setting in fast. I moved Riley around slowly in order to get him situated for the shot. That's when I began to realize who was really in control. His first revelation to me was that he was not sure if he wanted to shoot this one. She seemed small and their might be a buck behind her. I understood his reasoning even though I was taken aback by his hunting wisdom. After a few seconds (that seemed like forever) he decides that he would shoot. Once again, I situated him for the shot, pushed the safety off and proceeded to prepare for whatever might happen next. But I wasn't prepared for the next instructions he gave to his guide. "Are you going to film this?" he said. Now my heart is beating pretty fast and the doe is looking at us. I'm also trying to watch the outcome, make sure Riley doesn't get too close to the scope, and again, it is getting dark fast. "No, Riley I'm not going to be filming you. Just shoot the deer!" He hugs up to the gun, I lean over him to watch and then just before he shoots he says, "Will you put your hands over my ears?" I do. He shoots and immediately yells "I got him!" Now that, my friends, is how every hunt ought to be; where the memories do not come from what is in front of the gun but from what is behind it. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org PETS • LIVESTOCK LIVESTOCK FOR SALE Pure Breed, Angus Bulls and Heifers.

CAMPERS/RVs AT AT U R E TU FISHING REPORT Kosa Kosa The retirees have fished Lake Norman twice since I last caught up with them. The first one was won by Ronnie Humphries with 9.8 and he had big fish of the day with a 3.2 largemouth. David O'Shields and Doug Sparrow claimed second with 8.1 and in third was John Black and Roger McNeely with 5.3. Last week, David O'Shields fished solo and took the win with 8.7, and he had big bass of the day with 2.8. John Black and Roger McNeely were second with 6.7 and in third with 3.5 was Ronnie Humphries. Word is O'Shields likes taking the truck payment money home with him and looks to stay on top for a while. Bass Casters The Bass Casters fished Stumpy Pond a week or so back and Mark Swink brought in 17.5 to take the win, he anchored that with big bas of the day, a 5.2 largemouth. Terry Knight had 13.15 and took second place with Bubba Sprouse getting third with 10.1. Tom Gavin had 8.4 to edge out Brandon Scarborough, who had 8.3 for fourth and fifth. The Bass Casters will fish Lake Wateree December 8 from 7 til 3. Bass Master Classic The field is set for the Bass Master Classic, which will be on Lake Guntersville February 21-23, 2014. I think there is 1 spot yet to be filled and as of now only 2 'Carolina boys' will be in the field. Hank Cherry representing North Carolina and Casey Ashley representing South Carolina. Best of luck to both of them. If anyone has any suggestions on stories or pictures of their catch or kill, you can e-mail me at brucencracefancamp@ gmail.com.

First of all, practice mounting the gun until it comes to the shoulder in a smooth, automatic motion. Locate the target as quickly as possible and then concentrate on the target and point the gun-don't aim it like a rifle. Shoot where the target will be, not where it is and provide proper lead for the speed of the target. Don't stop the swing of your gun when you pull the trigger-continue to swing smoothly through the target. Consistently hitting your target, be it clays, upland game or waterfowl, requires dedication and training, so practice, practice, practice!
