J and Stetson were invited to go hog hunting this morning. Stetson didn't even know he was going until Daddy woke him up bright and early! He popped out of bed and was ready to spend the day with his hero. To make it special, Daddy even stopped at the donut store on their way out of town. For those who don't know, donuts are Stetson's absolute favorite!
This was a great first hunt for Stetson because he didn't have to sit still in a blind somewhere. Instead, all the guys had a caravan of all terrain vehicles following dogs that were trained to find the hogs. These are some fierce dogs, but still super sweet.
Stetson was right in the middle of all the action!
Success! Just to clarify, Stetson was just watching, not actually killing. I think he would have if given the chance. In fact, the dog owner was trying to find one just for Stetson but didn't have any luck.
I was worried what Stetson would think about seeing his first hunt and all it entails. Apparently, I was worried over nothing. He definitely has his Daddy's genes.
A true Mommy reaction..."He doesn't even cut his own food with a butter knife!"

I've just got to say, if I was a hog and saw this crew coming toward me, I would run! These are some BIG guys!
I've got these dogs. Let's roll!
Look at all the protective gear these dogs wear. Hogs are mean!!
The hog hunt was obviously a huge success and the start of a very long hunting career for Stetson. I'm not sure who is more excited...Stetson or Daddy.
