I wish I could be around in 50 years to hear Rex recount this hunt. I'm sure he'll remember it well.

Good job, Grandpa! Bringing a new hunter along is important for the future of hunting.

I was surprised to see, however, that the young hunter did not have a Hawaiian shirt on for his debut hunter photo.

So you got the Tranny problem too in the NEPA? Damn liberal game commission. Tell Rex nice shot and with a .410. I've only done it with the 28 so he's got one up on me. That bird will always be special to him and you should do some kind of mount for him. No other bird will ever top that one.

Daryl, we have at least 3 more bearded hens running the property this year. About 5-6 years ago we had three of them in one flock. My second bird that spring was a bearded hen and she's mounted in the lodge.

Craig, he’s just barely big enough to handle that little .410.

Make sure Tad brings him to either Ernie's or your shoot in July. It would be my honor to have my picture taken with such a celebrated outdoorsman.

Tad doesn't work for us anymore so if he comes to Ernie's it would just be Saturday and he's not even sure he can make that day.
