Sunday Pic of the Day

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

Sunday deer hunt , no deer spotted , no elk spotted, but I did have a good rifle hike. The main reason I went into the area today was there’s a big knob that you can walk to on old logging roads to that overlooks a small little Valley and elk are in there all the time, during archery season when I was with the guys I got the idea if you come up the backside through the woods on elk trails in the dark to start your hunt from the highest point in the valley, then hunt the logging roads out . So I did a trial run and used ONX to mark the back of the knob where there’s an old mud logging road at the top, that I will work to in the dark to stage for daylight, Roosevelt rifle season starts on November 13. That was more important to me than shooting a deer today.

On the way out walking the logging road, I found a wallow that the elk were using during the rut right on the side of the road


Peaceful drive out in the moonlight

One day to go, while I was in Alaska there were five coming to Catherines garden. This morning only one. Last day of rifle season.

Feels like winter.

Trailcam pic from yesterday morning. Neat how the rising sun creates little spotlights on the vibrancy of the fall colors…

I know it’s not Sunday, but was busy taking care of the wife’s bison instead. Cool to be able to take part in an opportunity such as this.

It was a great day for sure!

Sounds to me that you had much luck. Perhaps most of all the luck to live in such country and have the health for such pursuits.

My wife found a newer Rainbow play set on marketplace for a song. Owner was closing in a week and had to unload it. I made an impromptu Sunday trip to St. Louis and back.

That fish is some ugly good eating! How much did it weigh?

Thanks and yep—just had some grilled Lingcod tacos tonight! Super tasty. We didn’t weigh it but the captain sguessed about 80 pounds

Chopped this guy up and threw it into my spaghetti sauce.

I spotted some while hiking back to my truck along a decommissioned logging road on a ridge above the Quinault River. I was too tired and encumbered to harvest it at the time. That was three years ago, and I haven't made it back there since. I think about it around this time of year though.

We have a Turkey that has become a resident to our property. It’s definitely one of those one of a kind animals. My wife snapped this picture on Sunday. Been busy but wanted to share.

Fall color update:

The fall colors of the aspens have been freshened with added dash of intenseness.
Our stretch of the Gallatin River has taken on a drink of autumn to refresh itself after a thirsty summer drought.

Swainsons Hawk kind enough to sit still on the backroads near me last weekend.

Found this as I was was cleaning out some drawers. It is a casing from my grandfather’s 11 gun salute at his funeral.

Feral pigs look like a moving shadow in this stuff.
