Having a Blast In Idaho

My brother-in-law Eddie and I at Cabela's in Idaho

Back to front: Eddie, Peter and Alexander

Eddie sighting in his 22. Both Eddie and Peter are new to the shooting sports.

It's been a long time since I've been on a real vacation, so for our 25th wedding anniversary my wife and I flew to Idaho to spend 10 days with my sister and her family. As you might expect, I shot a lot of video clips and when we returned home, I created a 1.5 hour home movie for us to remember our time there. On the second day, my brother-in-law and nephew took me to a friend's house in the hills where we could shoot in his back yard. My nephew had a new .308 and my brother-in-law a new .22, which I helped them sight in. The boy is my nephew's son Alex, who is itching to start hunting. I wish I could take him squirrel hunting with me in CT. Since I can't, I promised him that I'd ship him the tails of my first 4 squirrels. This clip is an out-take from my larger home movie.

Alex told me that he would practice aiming with his right eye.

Welcome to north Idaho. Stumbled onto your blog doing an SKS search. Really enjoying perusing your pages since I've also been considering a Henry as my next purchase (.22lr).

I'm in Spokane and go to Post Falls Cabela's on a regular basis.

Keep up the good work. -Jeff

Great to hear from you Jeff. Do you small game hunt in the area? If so, how about telling me about it? I'm so grad I got to visit Post Falls last week. The entire area is just beautiful. Let me know if I can give you any info on the Henry. Have a great weekend. I'm going hunting in about 5 minutes...
