The Hunters

So, we have decided that of course we want som new change again. A new hobby to keep us busy again. So we have decided to take up hunting. We have been training our little black lab Maui to retreve ducks. So we bought her 2 ducks and have been training her to bring them back, set them at our feet, and then sit next to us. We have only done this inide, but so far so good (all except the marks of paint and the wood missing off the walls in the hallway). So, we went down to Cabelas for the first time today to look at guns. they had the only guns in stock that we were looking at. we have called around and have gone to differnt stores and they just didn't have the 28'' barrel that devin was looking for. So to Cabelas we went. It was about a 45 min. drive to Lacey without traffic. We walked in the front door and BAM...... we didn't walk any further, why?....... Because there was the clearance CAMO clothes. YEAH, we got Devin a camo outfit for only $50. And it even matches. After looking through those for a while, we then decided to go upstairs to check out the guns. We took a number and waited in line for our turn. We saw our 2 guns, and they didn't have Devin's gun in a wood finish, so we got him a black one. we then bought a camo finish that he put on his gun tonight. so all in all it was a good trip down to Cabelas. 2 Shotguns, some amo, Devin's camo outfit and a duck for Maui.

This is Maui with the new Duck that we got her today. It has more of a soft finish on it so she can grab it in her mouth.
Here is Devin in his new Camo outfit with his new Camo gun, which by the way if you want to know, it's a Remington 12 Gauge 870 Express, 28inch.

Here is Devin with his future hunting dog Maui. As you can see she already likes that duck, we had to take it away from her so she wouldn't learn to chew on it.These are the waders that we want to get Devin. They just look so cute!!! It will probably be another buy on another day.
Ohhhh... so the gun that we got me is a Remington (wood finish) 20 Gauge 870 Express 26inch barrel. Devin already took his online course the other day, and I'm supposed to do mine tonight. then this Saturday we have to go down to Shelton and take the Hunter safety course, then we can hunt anything. This season is duck since everything else is pretty much over. After we get our licenses, we will then get together with our friend jacob and find a place to go. He has a yellow lab puppy named Mojo and he wants to train him to hunt too. So between the 3 of us and the 2 puppies it should be a REALLY good time!!! Anywho, so wish me luck on my test and our testing this weekend, it should be a really good time!!!!

Nice camo! That is an awesome deal! We definitely need to take the puppies out and skeet shoot so they get used to the guns firing. So, now that you've been to Cabelas do you understand why we go there so much??? It's awesome!
