\u00a0The weather was terrible the day they arrived.\u00a0 Ice cold winds of 25 mph were the order but the kids as well as the adults were able to get some decent shooting in between warm-ups in the truck!\u00a0 The second day was much better with sunshine and only a moderate breeze.\u00a0 The looks on the boys’ faces as they whacked ‘rat after ‘rat was priceless.\u00a0 Although they may have to edit it out of the final cut, the boys giggling as they made a good shot or the sage rats did acrobatics just makes me happy!\u00a0 (There were a few giggles out of the adults too!)\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0They all shot with everything from .22 single shots to AR15’s.\u00a0 Scott and Tiffany as well as the boys did quite a bit of archery shooting with Judo points and they even did a little shotgun shooting off sticks to get the kids ready for upcoming turkey hunts.\u00a0 These boys have literally hunted all over the world.\u00a0 Braxton shot a zebra and Kazden shot his first wildebeast in Zimbabwe last year but both of them thought the sage rat hunting was over-the-top for volume and action!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0They all enjoyed just hanging out and experiencing ranch life.\u00a0 Two of the local buckaroos roped a couple bull calves that my brother, Todd, needed to castrate–just impromptu entertainment on a working ranch. A game of horseshoes whiled-away some time while Scott and Travis filmed and did interviews.\u00a0 (I had to sign a “Model Agreement” for Travis to use some interview footage.\u00a0 If you saw my old, fat butt, the last thing you’d expect is for me to sign a “Model Agreement”!)\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0They stayed in the B&B on the ranch and we fed them BBQ and dutch oven desert but they never required nor asked for (and didn’t receive) any special treatment.\u00a0 Although I didn’t know what to expect going into this project, the Haugan’s are just a neat family with very well-mannered kids.\u00a0 I dealt with Scott in the planning and throughout the filming and never saw him make a bobble with me or his family–just a genuinely nice and very likeable guy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The weather just kept getting better with warming temperatures and less and less wind\u00a0 They made some shots at over 200 yards with the centerfire rifles and plenty of close range shots that\u00a0kept the kids interested.\u00a0 We missed an opportunity at a badger on the final morning.\u00a0 It left the field before Scott could get on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0It was an enjoyable hunt for everyone.\u00a0 The episode will air next March on Scott’s show Game Chasers on the Outdoor Channel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
