Sunday Pic of the Day

I tried shooting a squirrel that was barking at me in my treestand. Just missed him and my arrow buried into the tree 15 yards from me, and 30 feet off the ground. Made me mad every time I sat in that stand. That arrow was a “hey, remember how stupid you are?” Reminder for a long time.

I got smart last year and started carrying one super cheap-o Cabela's Special arrow in my quiver, furthest spot forward. Now when I send one to the Sweet Baby Chuy I'm only out $5.

Sporting Clay shoot with my son Jarrod. He's a Top Shelf shooter. He surpassed my skills.

When I was in Maui a couple weeks ago my guide left one of my carcasses in his front yard. I asked him if we should haul it off. He said no, that his 24 year old (or so) daughter would sit on their raised porch and shoot the mongooses that came to eat the carcasses with her bow. Pretty dang impressive. She busted up arrows but didn’t mind. She just used practice arrows but gets a dozen or so on every carcass. Pretty girl. She’s going to have her own reality show next year but that’s another story. Did I mention she was pretty?

Shocking the hell out of me, the 8 year old asked to come to Home Depot with me early this morning. She’ll never understand, but these moments are the ones that make fatherhood all worth it.

A quick hike to look out over the local farmland and the mountains beyond. Then to the range with middle son to get in some more practice for his upcoming hunt. Had to snap a photo of the 1 and 5/16th inch group he shot at 200 yards... Hopefully he can hold that steady if he gets a pronghorn in the scope.

Two weeks ago it was mid 80's before daylight. Yesterday was 46 with fog rolling up through the San Antone. Today we're expecting rain! Yippee!!!

John Colter Race, Headwaters State Park, lots of hills and two water crossings. Wore my Great Falls HS '63 shirt and got several Bison cheers from more recent graduates. Wore my Vietnam veteran cap to run in memory of Vets who could not join me for this fun race.

Race participants receive a cool shirt, socks, a towel to dry after the water crossings, burgers, beverages, and beers out of the kegs. It was a fun event on a gorgeous day at the headwaters. Gotta love Montana!

I thanked the MSU Bobcat Army ROTC color guard and rear guard of cadets who "had our six" and came across the line with the colors after all others completed the run. I told them of my MSU Bobcat Army ROTC '67 vintage and expressed my envy at their just now beginning their careers. They seemed to appreciate seeing an old soldier still charging up the hills! But I think the only racer behind me was an old guy with a wooden leg!

Good morning on the farm.

Been on bulls the last 3 days. Close a few times, but just out of reach. Have to work Monday, then I'm free until the end of the season on the 25th. Feeling good
