Dad's visit


Last week my dad came over to hunt antelope and upland birds. We had a great week of hunting and some good success. Lena hunted with us on the weekend, and she nearly got a nice antelope buck. Next time.




Casper is turning out to be a good hunting dog, even though he is still just a pup. He flushes and retrieves, but his stamina and attention span still leave something to be desired. Over time I have no doubt that he will turn out to be a great dog. I could visibly see the pride and relief on dad when casper flushed and retrieved our birds.
Dad got a nice antelope buck, and we processed the whole thing ourselves at my house. Dad is making jerky, two types of summer sausage, two types of snack sticks, and two types of smokies. It was a lot of work, but we both enjoyed it.
One of the side notes of the trip was our tour of the missouri breaks. This is country that everyone should see once in their life. The picture of the cabin came from the breaks near the river. It was someone's dream.
