    Did anyone miss me? I was gone since Friday afternoon. My mom and I went out of town to a program run by the DNR. Its called Becoming an Outdoors Woman (a.k.a. B.O.W.). Its great! I learned firearms safety (got to handle rifles, shotguns and handguns) on Friday night, went gamebird hunting Saturday morning (didnt bag anything, tho they said Im a good shot), had a Trapping and Fur Craft class that evening (made a fox skin cap, its gorgeous :D) and had a Wild Edibles/Wildflowers class this morning :) There was also the B.O.W. Olympics (my team didnt win :(). One of the stations was shotgun shooting. The target was to shoot clay pigeons. You got 3 chances, and if the first person didnt get em, a backup person had to go in and try. The first person on our team didnt get em, so I went up. Missed the first, and blasted the second :D Yay!
    Great food, great people, great classes ^_^ This was my second year, and Im going again next year :D

    Got some pics on my digital camera, so Ill get them up in a few minutes. Still have to decide if I want to put them in a blog, or just put em on photobucket, since theres quite a few of em (about 33 on the digital. More on the disposable)

    :D

    That sounded like a hoot Bip. So are you the person to have beside when one gets lost in the woods? Did they teach any navigation tips?

    Looking forward to the photos :)
