Coon Hunter

Anyone that knows me knows that I am not that crazy about hunting...I prefer critters alive...but my son on the other hand is very into the idea of hunting deer, birds, turkey, bobcats, squirrel, bear...at this point he thinks it all sounds pretty cool. But I have to say that thanks to PaPaw David's influence, he seems to be the most interested in coon hunting.
Braylon had just turned three the first time Dad took him coon hunting and Dad said that Bray had absolutely no fear of being in the woods in the dark. He took off running and Dad and Uncle Ronald had trouble keeping up with him...just barely keeping his bobbing head light in sight. Dad said that Bray thought he was supposed to keep up with the dogs.
This shirt, that Braylon wore the last time he went on a coon chase, belonged to my brother. You can see that it is very worn out and barely fits Bray. I think D.J. (who was very Gary Coleman-esque until about age 16) was 8 years old when he wore it. Love ya, Deej ;)

They look like two peas in a pod. :)

I most enjoy the lower teeth smile. Very classy! I fear for the safety of the coons he will be hunting.
