Great Hunt with my Daughter. The Showtime Way!!

[Leo Porcello]

Well used the Showtime today in the field for the first and last time.

I bought this call for competition use only and I want to keep it clean

but had to kill some birds using it first. It was an easy limit. I brought

my 4 year old daughter Marcellina with me.


Well got her up at 0430 this morning. She is a hard one to wake

but I asked you want to hunt with daddy and shook her head yes,

sat up, and then punched me :o and then gave me a huge smile

and got out of bed. Got to the field with minimum time to spare but

had time to snap some pictures. Here she is helping rake some pea

vines for the blinds:

That lasted for a minute or two and then the true 4 year old came out.

The ducks would not leave us alone:

First bird down and she kept asking if she could get out of the

blind to look at the gooses eyes. She is extremely curious:

Bella bringing the last one of the day in. It was the last of a tripple and it

was a runner. Bella earned a treat for this one:

The cherry on the sunday. Was driving home and doing some scouting

and this sucker ran into a field. He ain't running anymore. It was right

by a big marsh complex so I wonder how many eggs I saved. I can still

taste that skunk in my mouth. YUCCCCCCCCCK

All I have to say is I am truely blessed. I have a ton of drive when it

comes to waterfowl and I swear Marcellina is following right in my foot

steps. You can keep all the money in the world. I will take days like this

first everytime.

Great pics. My daughter is 5 and loves going with me. She is getting to big to be in my layout with me, so I bought a new layout(Foiles Migrator Express) and gave her my old one. She is ready to go now!! Good luck and have fun.

I was wondering how that ShowTime was going to work for you! That one with your daughter with her thumbs up holding the ShowTime, well, is priceless. :D Use that one for hunting and get another for practicing for the stage. To be honest, you will not stand a chance against me anyways :lol: . Good job!

Talk to you soon,
