Quick Update

Here are a few pics from the past month. We went up to Salmon area last month to do a little elk scouting and get away for a couple days. It was a lot of fun and we got to see some really beautiful country.




Katie's BIG, little brother, is a Sr. this year. His football team is doing really well. They have won their first four games by a pretty big margin. We were able to go to two so far that he as played up in this area.



I have been working a lot this year, and have had a hard time trying to get ready for hunting season. I wish I was retired and could spend all my time out chasing critters like my dad. He was able to get himself a 175 3/8 California Bighorn Sheep earlier this month. I don't know where it will end up, but 175 is the min. for Boon and Crocket, and as of the 2005 Nevada Book, it would be 3rd place for Nevada. I would think that he would have a pretty good shot at top 5 for Nevada when the 2010 book comes out, and in the running for the gold buckle that goes to the biggest for this year.

Jackson

We got some sad news last night. Katie got a call from her mom with news that Katie's dog, Jackson, had passed away last week. I think that it took that long for Mary to be able to tell Katie.

I was never a big pet person, but I sure did like Jackson. He was a big old dog, but was as gentle as a butterfly. He really meant a lot to Katie and her family. We had talked once about bringing him up to Iona, but decided that Mary probably wouldn't let him go and that he and Tina, their other dog, would be lonely without each other.




I feel really sad for Katie and know that it was hard for her to get the news. We will miss our buddy Jackson dearly.
