Grandsons Weekend

Carolina Coyote · July 15, 2009, 05:11:06 PM

This is my two youngest Grandsons, they graduated from High School this year and will be going to College this fall, so I wanted to spend a little time with them, carried them down to the Wanderosia and they fished, shot water turtles and hunted Armidillo's. Both boys showed their markmanship with a rifle hitting targets out to 220+ yards, The Armidillo's are tough little critters and can move pretty fast when they want to, the boys were quick to get on them before they could run into a hole, They really enjoyed this Weekend and so did Grandpa. cc

They look like groundhogs with armor on. It also looks like they had a good time.

So that's what Grandsons look like & do.

(I only have Granddaughters)

Sure is great seeing these pix. Thanks for sharing.

Right now I'm only 1/2hr from the Wonderosa.

VV, You must be down at Gorden, sorry I could not ride down this weekend so we could scout around a little bit, to hot to hunt yotes but always a few Dillo's around. Good hearing from you, hope to see you soon. cc

That looked right enjoyable

Glad you said what that grey thing was or I'd a been having to show my ignorance again

Thanks for the look see.

Those armadillos might be tough little critters but they look like they open up real nice for the camera.

Cool pics.

I missed this thread the first time around. Nice pics and good lookin' kids. Glad everyone had a good time.

Looks like a real good time had by all. That shotgun on the boat seat caught my eye and I thought what the....??
Until I finished reading it anyway.

Thanks for taking us along.

Pretty cool pix, I wish we had them groundhogs on the half shell up here

Carolina Coyote · August 16, 2009, 05:58:35 PM

Nastygunz, Don't know if you really want them dillo's there or not, they are good target practice, they are as bad as Hogs about rooting in the ground , just not as big of area rooted up but I have to say I really enjoy riding around and feeding them with my 243 wssm. cc

Another thing there good at is just before you hit them with your car they jump straight up and ball up. They get about the height of your grill and can really punch a hole through it taking out your radiator and fan in the process

Carolina Coyote · August 19, 2009, 05:04:28 PM

It is amazing how high those critters can jump and how fast they can run with all that armor on especially after the fireworks start.

God tacks on additional days to your life for each day spent outdoors with your grandchildren. We have 7 and 1 great grandchild, so I should live a very long life.

Carolina Coyote · August 20, 2009, 08:35:31 AM

Spending time with the Grandkids is one of the pleasures of life, I have five and look forward to having some Great Grand Children, when I was growing up my Grandpa's never took me fishing or hunting, there were good to me but never really took the time to spend quality time with me, I want to give my Grands something to remember me by and the best thing I can think of is to let them know how much I love them. cc

That reminds me of one of the ones I popped at the Wonderosa w/ CC.

That thing took to jumping & flippin'. CC kept trying to get his foot on it to get it to stop. I was totally amazed at the show.

One was how far the 'dillo could leap in its death throws & the other was how high CC could lift his leg to try & get his foot on it.
:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

What a great time I had w/ CC that week!

VV, It seems the older I get the higher I kick.
