2019 Winter and 2020 Spring


Pheasant hunting with the McNeils when Jadon was home over Christmas break.  Had an awesome day with Suzie the spring spaniel. 


Another basketball photo I found.  Girls placed second or first in their last 4 tournaments. 







Spring beaver produced four beaver and a couple incidental rats. 



UPS man came with goodies for both the kids.  The peeps came as a response to Josie's letter of concern re the misplacement of the Peep's eyes.

 Boat all cherried up for first ride of 2020.  New equipment including on-board charger and motorguide wireless.

Very cold day during the parade.  Jadon carried the Florida flag.  

San Antonio Trip was awesome.  Watching Jadon do so well out on his own made us all very proud.   





Josie had an awesome season.  Her passion and intensity grew every game.  She became a lock-down defender.  It was a very fun season with a great group of kids.  They improved significantly from the beginning to the end.   


Shane's 10" perch.  Very fun day including crappies, a bunch of gills and a bass.

Catching up

Have gotten out and done some duck hunting.  Have shot birds each time but never really got into them...party due to bad shooting.  Need to shoot more clays I guess.  The boat has been awesome.  Kids have not gone with, but would like to get them out on some afternoon hunts.  Probably too late now.  Has been really rainy.  Grouse hunted a few time and seen 1 bird.   I have discovered some new territory however.  Got a pair of nice woodies when grouse hunting.  Sunny had a great retrieve on them.  Kids got to see a cormorant up close. 

 At the Blueberry Hill GP

 Our new rabbit Shadow!  Jumpy little bugger. 



 Hunt with the McNeils.  

 A memorable pair. 

 A memorable shot on this goose as it decoyed in perfectly.  The green wing showed up before first light and hung around.  I missed a pretty easy shot on 3 ringers.  I had 4 buffleheads fly over when I was picking up decoys.  

Kids really enjoying the taste of goose and they way mom prepares it.
