The Pumpkin Patch

Before we left to go home, Mom made sure we stopped at the pumpkin patch. I'm not sure what you do with these gourds, but I think I'd like to take all of them home!

Mom's Antelope

Mom, Dad, Jeremy, and Josh went antelope hunting on Monday, September 26th while I stayed with Grandma Lori.

Mom hunted most of the day before she finally got her antelope. She was really excited!

Dad and Josh used a decoy to bring the antelope running to within 60 yards. Mom did a great job not losing her nerves and made a perfect shot with the .270 rifle we borrowed from Rick.

Congratulations Mom! When do I get to go antelope hunting?

When dad returned to Hagerman, we stayed with Lori and Tom Shaw - my adopted Grandparent's in Hagerman. Tom was the Assistant Hatchery Manager at Hagerman since time began - and was nicknamed the hatchery "Godfather" by the current crew.

Mom, Dad, and Tom visited Jill Joseph (our old neighbor) to pick some plums while I took a nap. Dad, are you sure you should be that far up the ladder?

The ones that got away....

Where was this one when we were looking?

Hey Rocky, get over here........

Bullwinkles' buddy....

Hi there!

Are our tags good for this one too?

Dad had some trail camers posted around the elk woods......

Dad's Elk Trip

Dad finally returned after what seemed like forever and met us in Hagerman. He and all his friends (8 total) didn't get a single elk. Geez Dad, maybe you should take up golf!

They did find a crashed airlplane in mountains! Turned out that it crashed on May 14, 1966 - wow that was a long time before my birthday!

Dad and his friends did pass up 6 cow elk, 1 spike elk, and missed an opportunity on a 6 point bull. Sounds like you guys had plenty of chances! I guess you just like the taste of tag soup!
