Montana 2012

James, this is for you.  I dont think anyone else reads this anymore, but here are some photos from our trip this past week.  James took a nice mule deer buck in big sage coulee.  Shot him right in his bed for the 3rd year in a row. My whitetail streak continues with a nice buck we found bedded in an old dried up reservoir.  I hit him one shot through the front shoulder as he made a break for it.  We hunt out of Larry's Suburban with the deer on the safari rack, it is a beast of a machine.  The clutch kept slipping off, so that is why you see his legs under the rig as he is fixing it.  Caught some big brown trout in the Sweetgrass hills, shot a badger, missed some sharptails and huns, shot at a coyote, ate some great food.  We had the time of our lives.  We are very fortunate to have Larry and Susan who welcome us up every year on to their place.  It is priceless.

Also saw some Bighorn Sheep along the side of the road on the way home.  Pretty cool.

Christmas Card

We never did get our Christmas cards send out, so here is the picture that was on it. Merry Christmas to anyone who still reads this.

Montana Style

James and I returned from Montana yesterday. Our hunt only lasted about 4 hours, but the whole trip was great, with 2 nice bucks. James was one shot one kill 3 years running. We put the shneek on James' Mule Deer Buck, and got him in his bed. The Whitetail I got was a wild goose chase ending in the stubble. "Nothing wrong with that at all," as Larry would say. Man I love Northern Montana.

"Now lets the rest of us head on to Montana"

Jimmy and I took a midnight run to our favorite haunt in Northern Montana this past November. We hunted 1 day, killed 2 deer, 2 antelope and a box of apples which fell out of the back of our truck. We had apples scattered from hell to breakfast across the wheat stubble. It was a fast trip but full of adventure as always. Also pictured above is our friend Larry, who invites us up every year. He provides the laughs and 10,000 acres of heaven. They have got quite the place up there.

piano

I have to say I've been enjoying our new piano, if any one remembers my piano skills they'll appreciate how I've been practicing from my library borrowed piano book called Today's Movie Hits, which has hits such as Change the World from the popular movie Phenomenon, Don't Cry For Me Argentina- Evita, and My Heart Will Go On from the ever popular, Titanic, people who know my singing skills and my piano playing skills will be sad they missed my singing and playing concert I sang/played for Davey, Vivian, and Everett today. Good times. I feel like I need to add a picture to make this just a little bit interesing.

Wyoming

Back at the Ranch. A couple of handsome devils.

My antelope buck. Not to shabby, but still not as big as Todds.

Todd pretty much covered the events of the trip. Here Weston is assuming his position of choice with the hell's angels. It was a great time. Should we do it again?
