Coon Hunting

I got to go raccoon hunting with Mitch and David the other night. It was pretty fun. This raccoon wouldn't fall out of the tree though. After getting shot twice, it still wouldn't come down. It took both Mitch and Dave climbing up and hitting it with 10 foot branches to knock it out. David's dog Duke did really good. He kept barking almost the entire 40 minutes it took to get it out.

Barrow's Mount

I got my Barrow's Goldeneye mount back from the taxidermist. It turned out really good. It is probably my favorite mount so far. The water and ice in the base are really a good touch. Thanks Annie for letting me get it!

Yellowstone 2010

4/18/2010-4/20/2010

Got the chance to go to Yellowstone for a few days with my wife and my parents. It was a really fun trip. Its always too short though. We saw lots of animals and even a few firsts. I have never seen a river otter before so spotting one all on our own was really cool. Colton came on this trip too so you that pretty much guarantees seeing at least one bear. We actually saw two. We also saw bighorn sheep. I haven't ever seen these in Yellowstone before. They were really cool. We got to watch a group of big rams for quite a while. It was a really fun trip and I can't wait until the next one!
