Congrats, snit!

Have many fond memories of erupting roo'ters, Columbia R. breaks quail and chuckars coming to hand from a pard's young Springer, and limits of waterfowl with good friends and my ice breaker Chessie. Looking forward to vicariously sharing in your times afield....

Getting quite white in the facial hair department but still made lots of boot tracks in the snow playing hide and seek with alpine elk a few weeks back. One of my favorite pursuits as a guest on their home court. In spite of not seeing a spike at less than way out yonder, my soul was refreshed.

Happily accepted the gift of a plump and healthy trey BT late Saturday afternoon on the wet side late hunt. Hung him for 5 days and did the butchering myself as always. Working on 'nother Euro mount at present. Feels good to have the freezer reloaded. Something to be indeed thankful for. As a wise one once humbly imparted to me, the greatest gift one can ever give or receive is the gift of life. Shifting one's perspective can make miracles possible....
