For the past ten years, my (Hannah's) family has taken a hunting trip to Gackle, North Dakota. The main critters that we hunt are coyotes, ducks, geese and pheasants. Sometimes we snipe a coot or two with the rifles!! We have met some wonderful people while we are out west. Usually, the boys come with, but Ross lives in Louisiana now and Sam enlisted in the army, so they didn't make it this year. Dad and I had a lot of fun just spending time with each other.
The first night we were there, we set up in some hills to call coyotes. We called one in just before dark. My Dad took a shot at him but missed. The coyote was about 200+ yards away when he shot.

Me with my first pheasant!
My Dad took this picture of Manny. I think he was a little hot and thirsty.
Thor with my Dads pheasant. Thor did a real good job hunting again this year. He has come a long way. Manny still has a ways to go!
It wasn't the greatest year for ducks. The weather was too nice. We did manage to get a few to come in, though. We even got some lesser geese. I had my chance at a coyote, but hit just to the right of him. I was pretty disappointed. Hunting has always been something me, Dad and the boys do together. I am looking forward to making more great memories with the guys!
