The son is catching on but Teal is still the man! Teal found both of the geese buried in 18 inches of snow in heavy brush on opposite side of the running water.1/7/04
No school because of record snow fall so we went hunting. Jump hunting unfrozen water, which isn't a lot in this area now. We saw several groups of ducks but snow was to crunchy to get close. |

| January quail hunt before the big snows hit! | January duck hunt, jump hunting unfrozen water! | Post Chrismas hunt, we also killed 21 quail the day before, pictures to come after developing. My digital camera was frozen up and wouldn't work! |

| Gabe and young setter pup and Gabe's first Pheasant. Gabe also got his first bucking off from a horse! Now that's funny, I don't care who you are, that's funny, well at least to those watching it happen! | Postgate with young setter pup. | The pair with days kill from horseback. |
 Three great horses, the one on the right is the best I have ever ridden although he does live up to his name, "Crazy horse" on occasion. |
 This is the toughest little setter bitch I believe I have ever seen! We will be breeding her this spring. |
 Gabe and Rick are tired and they have been riding! |
| Chukar hunting from horseback in "BIG" country, the kind that eats those southern all-age dogs up! Makes'm look like gundogs, especially after an hour! The kind of endurance it takes for a dog or a horse to go through this country all-dayhas to be bred in, genetics! November 30, 2003. | ||

| Me with deer, 3X3 21 inch spread October 11, 2003 | Dr. John Postgate's deer, 3X3 20 inch spread October 19, 2003 | Another exciting event on the trip was this sighting of a cow moose and her calf. Picture is of some distance away but we thought it prudent not to try to get to close. We also shot 9 grouse. |

 2005-Maybe I did mine is a 4X5, 26.5 wide and heavy, Craig's was a 3X3, 28 wide! Not a bad buck!We still haven't beaten Craig's 2002 or 2003 deer but he didn't get one this year, however, he did get a cow elk and of course the bear.. |
