Family Day

We had a wonderful family outing, hiking up to one of our bear baits, enjoying the exercise and God's beautiful creation.

Mother/Daughter Giving Time

Audrey and I made a deal that we would grow our hair out to donate it to Wigs For Kids through my hairstylist Kathy. So Audrey and I had a date to cut our hair. This was Audrey's first time at a salon. She did so well sitting still.

Before! 

 Ten inches taken off. 

After! 

Our new hairstyles.

I forgot to take a picture of how long my hair was before, (it was half way down my back) but we had to cut at least 10 inches to donate. Audrey and I had a fabulous time. Looking forward to doing it again.

Wounded Veteran Hunt

Yesterday we had the privilege of hosting two wounded veteran warriors on our bear baits! I made dinner for us all (which I didn't get any pictures of our dinner) still kicking myself over that one. But we took both Army vets up and both of them shot beautiful bears! This was a real answer to prayer. We really would like to reach out more to our veterans! So this was an awesome start to what Lucas and I would like to do.

Thank you Jason for your sacrifice, we really appreciate you and all that you have done for our country. 

Jason's bear was a 6 1/2 ft. 275 lbs. 

Anthony, thank for your sacrifice for our country! We appreciate you and all that you have done for our freedom that we enjoy everyday!!

Anthony's bear was 5 ft!

Congrats, to you both for your beautiful bears!

May God bless you both!

Happy 10 years to being back in Idaho!

Last night Lucas and I walked in on this beauty! A 200+ pound, 6 foot boar! Boy was I excited about this one. He is so beautiful! We'll be keeping this one!! I love the fact that I shot it Memorial weekend because this is one of the reasons that we celebrate Memorial day... for our freedom to hunt and the right to 'bear' arms! 10 bears for 10 years!!!

A great start to our Spring...

On Tuesday morning Lucas shot his spring turkey and that evening I shot a bear!! It was awesome! Such a wonderful way to start our hunting season!
