Esther

[The Hedgehog]

Grandma Esther lived to be 97 years old, outliving all her children and was quite a great person for all those years.

Esther's Obituary



I have a goal to have a great elk hunting season - and to figure out if I prefer archery or rifle. I enjoy both - but will probably have to pick one or the other soon. I'd like to get a nice old bull elk - nothing about a big score or any of that BS. But given where I plan to hunt, and other factors/challenges, odds are not that good.

If I have some luck, I'll elaborate on the tie-in to my Grandmother. But don't hold your breath.

Good luck Greenhorn.

I am the grandson of now gone Norwegians from the Dakotas, and they are a warm and loving people, and Esther sounds like she was a wonderful lady.

What a life that must have been... lost my Grandma a few weeks back at 90 so I can relate right now. Those stories stick with you forever.

Great photos - I bet Grandma Esther could tell some stories!

If a bull goes down, I have a feeling what's coming...

I bet you can fit an elk in that car's trunk.

Life well lived. Sounds like a hell of a woman, GH.

Look forward to this event unfold.

She looks like a woman who knew herself, and how to take care of business!

Grandmothers can hold a special place in their grandkid's life.

May we all live a full life similar to Esther.

Sounds like a remarkable woman, can't imagine outliving a spouse and children. Pretty lady Kurt....and tough.

 

[Brittany Chukarman]

Such a life. Her young picture resembles Natalie Portman.

Following along. Always great stories from you so excited to see this one unfold. Good luck this season.

She appears to be a lovely lady. Thanks for bringing her life into ours.

Alberta Bair, of central MT renown, was reportedly known to bump around in her Cadillac into her early 90's, and put a mule deer in the trunk if he would oblige.

I bet you can fit an elk in that car's trunk.

Or tie it to the roof at least. Hopefully whole!!!

Congratulations on a life well-lived.

My wife's incredible mom is 97 and going strong. Hope we have her with us many more years, but the odds are against it.

Wow! That is quite a tribute to your grandma.

BTW - how did that fixed 10X work in those woods?

You and your fish eyes... like a kid with a new toy...

However, that is still a helluva bull
