Hunting Season 2017/2018

Josh built a box stand for him and Hudson to hunt in at the camp in Amite. They put it up in September.

A lot of work went into getting ready for deer season. They planted a food plot, put corn out and checked cameras.

Josh estimated they hunted 12-15 times. He would send pictures from the stand. Poor Hudson was tired from getting up so early.

They weren't seeing any deer and the season was almost over. We let Hudson go with Papa to Mississippi. They went on January 26 and didn't see anything.

They went back on January 31, which was the last day of the season. Josh called me around 7:30 a.m. saying Hudson shot at a doe and they were going to look for her. While we were on the phone, this picture came through:

Josh and I both started crying! We were so happy for him! He has been trying to get a deer for two seasons. Papa documented the experience with pictures and videos. Right after he shot it and sitting in the stand, Hudson was crying. He was nervous and his legs were shaking.

They tracked her and found her about 40 yards away.

Hudson pulled her out on the four wheeler

Blood on his face

We met them at the Russo's house when they got back to see it and then they cleaned it.

Proud Dad!!

She weighed 117.2 lbs

Turkey season started on March 8th for youth.Hudson went with Papa and Nana to sleep at the camp and hunt. They had a gobbler come in that morning, but got scared off. On the evening hunt, it was hard to tell if one was a jake. No turkey on the first hunt. Just a nap for Huddy.

Hudson and Papa went back on Monday, March 12th for an afternoon hunt. Hudson saw 3 hens and 2 jakes coming in. He was shaking, but shot a jake (young male).

Another first for Hudson!

We are glad that he and Papa get to do these hunts together!

It weighed 10.4 lbs

He said he doesn't need to hunt anymore since he got a deer and a turkey :) He likes it so much, I know he will go back. Daddy says he is going for horns and a beard next.

The girls had dress rehearsal for dance. I went on the Thursday class on the 6th. We got to see a preview of the dances. Hudson had his first driving session on February 10th. He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young. We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas. My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk. I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch. We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville. The food was really good. I had the crab cake and eggplant stack and Josh h...
