Sunday, November 29 through Tuesday, December 1

Jere, Jana, and Ian arrived at our house about 7:50 AM and quickly packed Cerwin’s things into Jere’s suburban.

The hunters

Prayer for safety –  in travel and while hunting.

Later in the afternoon – after they were settled in their motel room and had chosen their hunting spots for the next morning, I received two more pictures.

Grandpa and Ian would be hunting from this blind. Jana and Jere were in another area of the farm.

Later in the day, Cerwin sent me this picture of them enjoying supper in a nearby restaurant.

They stay in a motel suite and eat in restaurants, so this is not a “rough it” kind of hunt. 🙂

I was so excited to hear that Ian shot his first buck – a six-point – on Monday morning.

After shooting it, Ian looked at Cerwin and said, “Wow! I just shot a buck. Thank you, God!” Then he gave his grandpa a high-five. 🙂 What a great memory for both of them.

Then a few hours later I received a text/photo that Jana had downed a four-point.

The owner of the land made it easy for them to transport the deer.

Since Tuesday was a very rainy day, Cerwin and Jere decided to end the hunt. They had planned to hunt again in the morning, but hunting in the rain is not enjoyable.

Jere and Kristen are pleased to have enough venison for themselves and to donate some hamburger to a local group home where their adopted 70-year-old son, Gregg, lives.
