The Hunters

John Paul was so excited to join his brother, Billy and his two nephews, Conner and Kade, on a hunting trip to Encinal this past weekend. He's most treasured hunting memories include the "Padgett Boys." When they go hunting, Billy takes one of the boys and JP takes the other. This trip, he got to sit with Conner and they had a blast. The hope was that both boys would have a successful hunting trip and they were. Conner harvested a 9 point and Kade harvested a 10 point. I'd imagine the processing bill from this trip will be sizeable but will be some good meat in the freezer.

When they dropped Uncle John off in Pleasanton, we couldn't resist a photo op with the boys. It brought JP great pride to have his son in this photo. His nephews have meant the world to JP and he's taken such joy watching them growing into young men. Imagine his joy in thinking that his own son will be able to join them some day soon. And Conner and Kade have both said they can't wait for cousin Mason to join them on a hunting trip with the dad's.
