The last day 2020

[hank4elk]

Tough day. Tend the fire. Took some corn & alfalfa down for New Years dinner for the gals. Chile Colorado with elk on rice for Rio & I later. Might even make it til 9 tonite...

Have a fire built in the pit outside. Later on I'll cook some crab, salmon, stuffed mushrooms, etc. Will crack open some good dark beer and ring in the new year with the girlfriend and our dogs. What I do every year.

Most of us are in a rush to put this year behind us, but I saw something that put some perspective on it.

Last day of 2020! What a year! I don’t even want to talk about it. It’s effected us all.

On this day, the last day, my daughter #3 and I are in route to a warm water slough just outside a small town in Montana. New retriever laying across the back seat. I fully expect a couple thousand greenheads to be roosting it and we’re gonna run em off, toss out some Dakota fully flocked decoys and get em when they come back to water after feeding. The proceeds of the hunt will be marinated in jalapeño juice, wrapped with a slice of jalapeño, a dollop of cream cheese, a strip of bacon with a toothpick and cooked to medium on the grill. Enjoy them this evening with a Montana craft beer (bent nail maybe) sitting by the fireplace.

what are you doing to end it?

Cheers you made it thru! Drive safely and have a happy new year.

We do an annual Lord of the Rings Marathon at my house - so we will be doing that and then this weekend I'll be buying my 2021 hunting license and trying to see if I can go get my second Caribou this season, first Caribou with a bow hopefully! I'll try to get out Saturday if everything lines up and the temps don't dip too low - current projection is only -9 + windchill on the ridges.

I’m in the basement “self medicating” in anticipation of my sister in law arriving.

Trying to wrap up a design so I can get in the car, drive over a snowy pass to spend a couple days drinking hanging out with my in-laws.

I haven't made it to midnight in years!

Same... It's simply not what it was back when... Prince was singing as if it was 1999...

Need any pointers?

Heading to my buddies pit blind in the morning I figure if we shoot a limit of geese 2021 will be better if not well.....

Reflecting on my PA whitetail hunting season and thinking about how to start applying for hunts in the west.

That was worth 3 hours of vacation. My daughter wanted to go with too, so we went for a walk. Happy New Year!

 

[Sytes]

That's one heck of a precious photo of the two of you! That's awesome.

Smoked up some duck jerky. Also disposed of the Christmas tree, one of my favorite holiday traditions.

2020 sucked a big fat moose cork - except for the beer.

I’ll be drinking beer all night. My grandma passed away today. Bring on 2021!

Sorry to hear that @cahunter805. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

I'm a couple pulls deep... better get off the phone before things go south.

Worked this morning. Spent this afternoon with my family and another fishing in The Hunting Gods country.

4 big trout. Nothing better than a kid catching a fish. Absolutely beautiful last day of 2020.







Quite a difference in the male vs female filets.

Happy New Year Hunt Talk. Here’s to 2021.

The boys and I butchered one of our hogs yesterday. Got the ribs on the grill at 12:30. Those ribs along with baked potatoes from the garden, and a salad from the greenhouse was our dinner. My amazing wife made a lemon cheesecake with a lemon curd topping she had canned earlier in the year. The hams and shoulders went into the salt for the start of prosciutto. The head is cooking on the woodstove . . . .soon to be headcheese.
