Sunday Pic of the Day

[Caseknife]

Not Sunday, but Monday evening, just had a herd of 80+ elk show up in our field. We were just reminiscing about the rut fest we had all night long around the house for two nights in a row about 5 years ago.

Well, I finally witnessed my first free roaming rattler today. Brother found two when mowing and one was not it a good location so he relocated to a safer place and I brought the boys over to see it. Beautiful creature.

I made a short trip to Pennsylvania this week. Wow, I miss hearing bugles and seeing bulls.

Looking for sheep this week.

Grandson Bode finished rodeo season with a smokin' fast 4.5 seconds steer wrestling run during final performance in Pendleton, OR. Montana cowboys did well in the steer wrestling, as Bode's traveling partner, Quentin Wheeler of Baker finished second and Bode finished third in the average for three go's at the pretigious Pendleton Roundup!

Hell, we were there, always a good show. Well done Bode.

The John Colter Run Saturday morning was enjoyed by 300 trail runners/hikers during a gorgeous sunny Sept day, with views of Missouri headwaters area similar to what was experienced by the Corps of Discovery. The photo of back of my GFHS 63 shirt shows the trail headed down to bottom of a gully, but as you look across you will see a long trail back up to the top of another hill. Some of incline is mostly hiked, other than by elite younger runners who impressively charge up those steep trails.
This annual event is so well established and supported that trains stop all over Montana so that the schedule will allow for runners to cross the tracks at Trident at the beginning of the run. The run ends with a Gallatin River crossing at Headwaters State Park, featuring live music, burgers, beers, and other beverages. I run (If you could call it that.) wearing my shirt to honor GFHS 63 classmates who are gone and can't be there for the race and my Vietnam Vet hat to honor those fellow Veterans who are gone and no longer enjoy Montana days.
I am proud of the trophy earned ... but realize once entering the 80 to 89 age group the competition significantly diminishes. For me, crossing the finish upright is a WIN!

Hanging out at my sister in-laws yesterday and noticed the kids gathered around making a big commotion. Went over to investigate and find them gathered round this fella. Pygmy rattler.

This is the view when I first saw this buck.
Glad he stood up and gave me a better look at him.

 

[shrapnel]

Next best thing to see when you are hunting elk…

This buck isn't going to get very many of you excited, but this is in WA state and on the farm, so I was excited.

That may be true, but it certainly doesn’t diminish the achievement of your finish. Opposite, in fact- you’re out there doing it while many others no longer can (or will).

Nice job!

Starting to feel like fall out here.
