Hunting Weekend


Each year, the ECS football coaches get together late October and go hunting/camping ("The Man Weekend").  There is a former ECS family that Coach Durham has developed a friendship with over the years and he offers his land for the coaches and their weekend. 

Getting everything set up.

Quite a nice little place :)

Coach Thornton brings out his inner child by always climbing a tree.  


Coach Burton with all the fish he caught!  He loved fishing the whole weekend.


34 pounds of catfish!


Coach Durham tries to retrieve the raccoon that his dogs' treed and Justin and Brad shot. (Justin has a video on youtube when the raccoon fell from the tree and the dogs caught it, but I refuse to put it on my blog - yuck!)


Justin and Brad killed the coon


 looks like these two are getting along ;) So sweet


Coach Jordan shot this red fox squirrel


Yum...omelets made in a boiling pot of water in a ziplock bag :)


Skeet shooting practice.  


Coach Jordan.  That little dot over the tree is the skeet.


Coach McSwain (only time he left the fire or pond - haha)


Manuel's first time shooting a shotgun.


The lefty (Coach Thornton)


The guys had a great escape weekend camping & hunting and hanging out outside of the classroom or football field.  This was great timing as they got rejuvenated before their long playoff run!  They usually get a picture together, but they forgot this year.  Maybe next year  :)
