AbnerHayes Abner Hayes takes all of the boys on a hunting/camping trip for a week.
Attendees: Cal, Shawn, Cole, Jefferson
Mr Black comes along. (He always does) and Jackson is the main coonhound. They sometimes bring more dogs / other men but this one is just the two.
Its basically a coonhunt / camping. They go out into the wild, with tents and what not for a few days. They are on foot. They have rifles for the two men, and two extras that the boys get to share and use.
The basic hunt is a standard coonhunt. Jackson gets the sent of a raccoon. He chases the coon and trees it. The people follow behind, and then shoot the animal out of the tree.
The men make a point of teaching the boys proper firearms safety and shooting.
I think they also spend some time fishing, and generally enjoying the outdoors.
<#bill: One night while they're sitting around the campfire, Cole asks Abner for one of his stories. The old man gladly obliges and spins tale of a prior hunting trip. Everyone seems to really enjoy the story - even Mr. Black. #>
