The Latest Visitor to our Country Home

Curtis beat us home Monday night and was filling the stove with wood and saw a chicken just outside the fence teasing him and strutting his stuff! He didn't get a chance to shoot that one, but did manage to bag one out in the pasture about 1/2 an hour later. Once it was dark he came back to the house to see that there was another teasing chicken sitting on the deck! He took the time to get the camera and took these pictures in total darkness with flash! To get the last picture, he is about 10 feet away from the chicken and it still did not fly away when Flashed by the camera!

Chickens are truly not the smartest bird. Curtis, Daniel and Claire went chicken hunting tonight in the pasture and came home with one and Curtis showed Daniel how to gutt it by standing on the wings and pulling the feet. Totally cool!

Wow! All this hunting talk reminds me of hunting with my dad when I was a kid! I remember him teaching us how to gutt partridge by pulling on the wings!!
