Making Grandpa Proud

My father-in-law passed away recently and his wife passed his rifle down to Jeff. Hatley has been itching to go out to the country to shoot it. We went to my parent's farm on Labor Day so that he could try out the gun. Jeff and Hatley went out in the woods to look for something to shoot. Jeff lifted up a piece of tin behind the cabin that is on the backside of my parent's land. They were surprised to find a nest of copperhead snakes!! They killed 8 total. I have never met anyone more afraid of snakes than Grandpa Riggins. He would jump if he saw one on TV. He would be very proud of Hatley for using his gun to rid the world of some snakes!!
