First-light

If I'm reading this correct it will be the 1st time out of state hunters can get DMP's. This is good.

Thank you. As exciting as it was I still so so nervous. Each jump had injuries. It's always in the back of you mind. You know what was cool. As I left the hotel there were a bunch of soldiers leaving also. They were in flight uniforms. They were brought in from the Air force to maintain the planes and fly them. Interesting for sure. She is home for a week of needed vacation at Montauk then reports for Air assault the following Monday for two weeks. After that back to the books. She has been asked by the black and gold Sandhurst teams to try out. These are West Points elite teams. She has to decide between this and boxing. I think Sandhurst may win out, it will benefit her further down the line. Thanks to all of you guys for being so supportive. She has a bin under her bed that has all the cards from you.

Some video

Last word.........you have a good sense of humor and I enjoy your posts. Enjoy!!

You ever see the you tube videos. Sheet of plywood with a notch in it that goes over the animals leg. Protects the guy releasing it pretty cool.

She would love this, she loves her dogs!

For you Charlie! Teddi says Hi!!!

I see where you read my story wrong. I didn't think twice about getting the gun. I get what you thought, but I meant I paid it no mind. Maybe my bad choice of words. I see that. Yes rabbits produce more offspring but also have much more predators. My point is a life is a life weather a deer, bear or rabbit. We value deer more becuuse they are a part of our favorite sport deer hunting. Calm down Jr. I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you, my opinion.

I got to see two jumps yesterday, pretty cool. She is done and now a part of AirBorne! Last jump was in the dark. Unfortunately there are risks on every jump. 1st jump a soldier broke his leg when anther guy got on top of his chute and accelerated his decent. Night jump two guys got tangled up don't know how bad but the ambulance was called.

Yes I am. Just making a point.

So yesterday while taking the dogs out a hawk swooped into my corn field and got a rabbit. It squealed for about 10 seconds really bad then nothing. I didn't think twice about getting a gun and shooting the hawk. Now if a yote had a deer in my yard I would run for the shot gun. There is no difference except the value of the deer to each of us.

I'm 6 hours away from FT Moore. Her last two jumps are today 3 pm and 9 pm. Here is a picture a parent sent me of her! They need 5 jumps for graduation 3 are complete should finish up today!

Her first jump went real well. Scary but real fun she said! Charlie company back at it tomorrow. I'm headed down there tomorrow and hope to see her last jump Wed or Thurs. Charlie Co a good omen!!!!

I think you are spot on.

Hey you know what? I haven't heard. a coyote in 8 months. You know why? Last year while watching a field by my house two wolves came up the side of the field . Not enough time to get on them with the gun but my brother and I saw it. Wolves eat coyotes. Two huge dogs. Chew on that!

They weren't contradicting at all . They just have a new study that puts it right in front of you. I totally agree with this study then add in the predation part and i'm fine with 1/3 of fawns make it.

West Point is getting killed tonight by the storms. Bill hope you are ok. Roads washed out everywhere.

Leading Charlie company as first jumper tomorrow at AirBorne school! Wish her luck!!!!

My brother told me this is true. I didn't think so just asking.

Happy Birthday!
