OMG...IT HAS BEEN FOREVER SINCE I POSTED!!!
WE HAVE BEEN CRAZY BUSY AROUND HERE. THE BOYS ARE STILL GOING 100MPH WITH FOOTBALL AND BOTH ARE DOING WELL. KODI'S TEAM IS 2-2 AND GAVS TEAM IS STILL UNDEFEATED AT 4-0. YEEEEE HAW GO BOYS!!!!
WE WRAPPED UP OUR EARLY ELK SEASON WITH NO ELK IN THE FREEZER..BUT A COUPLE OF FUN HUNTS.
ON OPENING MORNING ERIC AND I SET UP IN A SMALL CLEARING, WHERE WE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE BULLS WERE BUGLING WHICH IS ALWAYS FUN TO HEAR, AND WERE RESPONDING TO ERIC'S "HOT COW CALL". WELL IT WASN'T LONG, AND ERIC HAD A BOYFRIEND!!! ERIC WAS SITTING WITH HIS BACK TO THE CLEARING AND ME FACING IT....WHEN IN CAME THE BULL.. I LOOKED AT ERIC AND HELD UP FIRST 4 FINGERS, THEN 5. HE WHISPERED TO ME " 4 OR 5" AND I NODDED MY HEAD. SOOOO WHAT DOES ERIC DO, TRIES TO TURN AROUND TO SEE.
WELL, HE THOUGHT I MENT THEIR WAS 4 OR 5 COWS.. BUT I MENT A 4 OR 5 POINT BULL!!!!! THE BULL SPOOKED, THE MINUTE HE MOVED. OF COURSE A BULL COMES IN...AND NO BULL TAG... JUST COW OR SPIKE. THATS WHY ERIC TURNED AROUND BECAUSE HE THOUGHT I MENT THEIR WAS 4 OR 5 COWS. THE BULL WAS A NICE ONE CAME INTO 45 YARD RANGE. (WE RANGED IT AFTER HE LEFT) A NEAT EXPERIENCE THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL NEVER HAVE. THAT AFTERNOON WE SAT UP IN ANOTHER SMALL GREEN OPENING. THIS TIME WE SET UP OUR MONTANA'S ELK DECOYS, WITH PLENTY OF SCENT. AFTER SITTING FOR TWO HOURS..ERIC IN TREE STAND AND ME ON THE GROUND....I HAD TWO COME IN MY WAY, AND ERIC A NICE BIG COW. ERIC HAD NO VITAL/ETHICAL SHOT...AND MINE WERE OUR OF MY SHOOTING DISTANCE. TO US.... THIS IS STILL A SUCCESSFUL HUNT.....AGAIN MOST PEOPLE WONT EVEN SEE ONE DURING THE SEASON.
AS WE ARE IN THE RUSH OF HUNTING AND FOOTBALL I HAD TO HAVE MY ISSUES..OF COURSE. MY ARM PORT (WHICH IS A PERMANENT IV ACCESS I HAVE IN MY ARM FOR WHEN I BECOME ILL) DECIDED TO GO BAD AND FLIP OVER IN MY ARM. WITHIN A WEEK OF THIS HAPPENING I WAS SENT TO SPOKANE ADMITTED INTO SACRED HEART AND IN THE OPERATING ROOM. THE OLD ONE WAS EXTRACTED AND THE NEW ONE PLACED. I SPENT A COUPLE DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE MY ASTHMA FLARED FROM THE ANESTHESIA AND MY ARM SWELLED. IT WAS A WEEK MONDAY SINCE THE SURGERY. THEY TOOK OUT ABOUT AN INCH OF SCAR TISSUE AROUND THE HOLD ONE AND HAD TO DIG OUT A "POCKET" FOR MY NEW ONE. I'M RECOVERING QUICKLY AND HOPE TO BE ABLE TO PULL MY BOW BACK IN A MONTH OR SO...JUST IN TIME FOR LATE SEASON. THE BAD PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS NEXT THURSDAY ERIC AND I LEAVE FOR OUR BIG IDAHO HUNTING TRIP...WE GO WITH MOM AND DAD AND THEIR HUNTING CAMP. WE LOOK FORWARD TO IT ALL YEAR...NOT TO MENTION IT IS SOOO EXPENSIVE TO HUNT OUT OF STATE SO WE HAVE TO SAVE FOR IT. NOW....AFTER ALLL OF THAT I CANT HUNT.
BECAUSE OF THE INCISION IN MY ARM. MAKES ME WANT TO CRY...BUT ITS MORE IMPORTANT THAT I HEAL..SO I CAN HUNT IN THE FUTURE.
ONE MORE THING BEFORE I END THIS LONNNNNNNNNNG POST.... WE HAVE A NEW ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY. HIS NAME IS "WEATHERBY". HE IS A LITTLE YELLOW BUTTERBALL. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT REMEMBER MY BABY TOBY THAT WE LOST TO A CROOKED TRAINER... WEATHERBY IS RELATED TO HIM, IT IS HIS NEPHEW. HE IS GAVIN'S DOG, AND IS GOING TO BE HIS BIRD DOG FOR WATERFOWL HUNTING. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE ASKING................................NO WE WONT BE SENDING HIM TO A TRAINER. I WILL DO IT MYSELF!
WILL POST AFTER OUR IDAHO TRIP.. PRAY FOR ELK FOR ERIC.
