Laura's hunting story

So there she was.... We had seen some does with a little buck down about 1000 yrds away. We crept down to about 300 yds. The buck had left the does and was walking up the ridge closer to us about 175 yards. I told Laura to wait because he would come up the other side we got all set up and the buck started walking up the other side. I kept telling her to shoot it she said she could not see it again and again finaly she said i see it it is laying down i said no it is walking up the hill she said no it is laying down. of course we were looking at different deer she finaly saw the walking deer at 320 yards and shot. She missed it jumped then she shot again. The buck that she had seen laying down got up and it was a bigger buck. she had missed the littler one again so I said wait lets shoot the big one. The big one ran towards us and stopped at 175 yards Laura shot him and he went right down. Then the hillside exploded with deer they were everywhere there were a bunch of bucks. We sat about 1 hr just looking around and we spotted some bucks off about a mile they looked bigger then the ones that were still hanging around sparring even after laura had shot 3 times and so we snuck over there and I shot the biggest of the 4 it was a great trip with my great gal.

One Ugly Sick Momma

Just wanted to update you all on my progress. Some of you were aware that I was quite sick and spent some time in the hospital, some of you may not have been. But I am feeling good now. It was kind of a freak thing, I thought I had strep at first with the horrible sore throat and swollen lymph nodes but then I got swollen under my chin, and it was huge and hard as a rock. Skipping to the chase I finally got to a decent doc who sent me to the hospital where they did a cat scan and said I had an abscess, 75% chance I would have to have it surgically drained. He wanted me on steroids and antibiotics for two days before the surgery. Needless to say I did not end up having the surgery. The doctors were amazed. I credit lots of prayers, a positive attitude, and lots of veggies. I took my juicer to the hospital and had vegetable juice twice a day as I was on a liquid diet and couldn't chew food. Doctors still aren't sure why I got it because it's a strange location for an abscess, was not tooth related. Thanks again to all family and friends who helped out during this time!

Officially a Soccer Mom

Okay, so this is my first time posting a blog, so bear with me. Tony actually got this thing going! So Bella started soccer a few weeks ago. Let me tell you it is quite entertaining. The first practice she couldn't even kick the ball, it was more like pushing with her foot. She is coming along, getting more aggressive each game. At first she just ran around but never got in the crowd to have a go at the ball. Now she is getting in there at least trying to kick the ball, although most of the time she is swinging at air! It helps that Tony has bribed her that she'll get a chocolate chip for every time she kicks the ball! We're not opposed to bribery in our household.

only pic on this comp

I was hunting northern Idaho this fall with my friend Andy when he spotted this buck about a mile away. We were not sure how big he was until we got closer I was suprised how tall and heavy he was. That was Andy's first trip and he could not decide if he wanted to take that buck or not I said I would take it if he didn't want it. He decided that he did, got a good rest and hit him first shot at 356 yds. The shot turned out to be to far back and the buck took off I then shot and Andy shot two more times, I hit him once good on my second shot and he tumbled 100 yds down the mountain. It was a fun hunt, an interesting note we found the shed horn from last year right where he was laying and it was a perfect match to the one from this year the buck hadn't improved at all.
