The Details

Yesterday was my last full day of hunting this year. I hiked for almost 8 hours!!
As the bush-pusher I spent most of my time in the thickets, climbing over dead-fall, and ducking under branches. A great day.

This is the first season I've not had to hunt in the snow. Glorious! I did miss the hopeful feeling of coming across tracks ... but I loved being warm and dry.
In the morning I came across a little white rabbit sitting in the middle of a dark, brown thicket ... I was struck by the irony of his failing camoflauge. He didn't seem to realize it wasn't working and let me get within 4 feet of him before running off.

Garron's sister was along and took the pic of us walking up the hill together without us knowing ... thanks Sharon, I like it! It was shortly after this that Garron saw and shot his deer.

The picture of me in the trees was taken from where Garron shot. I was standing where the deer was (and fell). Not exactly a 'clear' shot ... but Garron made the best of it.

I like the last picture best cause it depicts how I see our marriage. Two people with vastly different talents and strengths pulling together with everything they've got to get where they wanna go. Too cheesy?

Congratulations on your great hunting day. BTW - not too cheesy. It's a great analogy - two peoples' strengths and weaknesses and talents complimenting each other to face whatever lies ahead. See you on the weekend Amer to hear more details of your hunting day. Love LJ
