Its official! I am a hunter!

So, as I was going through the pictures and I felt that one experience deserves its own post!  After three years of having a hunting license/hunters safety I have finally accomplished the task of killing.  It sounds so brutal when you use that word, but that IS what hunting is all about.  I did not do a lot of hunting in 2008 because I was busy with a newborn.  However, in 2009 hunting season I learned just how difficult the sport can be and was unsuccessful at many attempts to kill various creatures.
This last weekend was dove hunting season and I was out with Seph, Joey (Casad) and his friend Tim.  A box of shells had almost been emptied when BANG!  I GOT ONE!  Then I got TWO, then THREE, and then FOUR - the amazing thing was these (first) four were all RIGHT IN A ROW - I thought Seph was going to have a heart attack and my ego quickly grew!!!  Then one miss and BANG a fifth - well, I ended up with EIGHT total for the day and I am pretty darn proud of that number.  I finally feel worthy of being a Bellerive that can truly now be called a hunter.  LOL
2nd post for the day, see below for the 1st
