(It was hidden so you had to know where it was, to avoid other kids from finding it/using it, and you had to be taller than 5 years old to get to it).... <br /><br />At 25 cents bounty per rat shot in the barn, they soon became quite accurate :)<br /><br />They also ALL know how to butcher, cut, and wrap an animal. In fact my son called me Sunday saying he had an emergency cut and wrap - cow broke her leg - and could I help wrap so he could get it done faster :) Kids :) Always know that Mom will be there to help if needed.marci357https://www.blogger.com/profile/08464308058830198491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-46474571759177938262010-03-04T11:21:15.434-07:002010-03-04T11:21:15.434-07:00Looks like a very sucessfull hunting trip.
