Creech Tradition

For the Creech family, the first Saturday in November is always the same. Casey says that it has been a tradition for many, many years...he remembers hearing stories from his grandfather's childhood about this very day. What is it you ask? It's the Creech Family Annual Pheasant Hunt. Every year the men go a huntin' while the women stay home and make tons of delicious food! I wasn't sure just how big a tradition this was until the morning of the hunt. Every man was up and gone by 8 am, guns in hand, and dressed all in camouflage. They all piled into their trucks and were off to the fields all day long. They ended up shooting 3 pheasants, one with its wing blown completely off! It was a very fun day, with good people and great food. Next November I'll know what to expect :)
