Gobble! Gobble!





Well it's that time of year again, when the turkeys start talking and we start stalking. We were lucky enough to be able to spend the weekend with our good friend Rick down south in hopes he could fill his turkey tag. We heard and saw a lot of turkeys but they weren't quite willing to leave their hens to come to us. We had what seemed like hurricane winds the full three days we were there so needless to say we didn't get much sleep but it's always worth it to escape the real world and get out camping. We also saw a couple of awesome looking houses that were built into the canyon rock wall. Kyle and I both have turkey tags in May so we will see how our hunts go. As you will notice I'm very much looking pregnant in these photos. By the way, Rick went back a week later and got a very nice turkey that we had previously labeled Sponge Bob No Beard.

Otter Creek





It's taken me awhile to post this great weekend we had with our friends Travis and Kristi at Otter Creek to do some fishing and hiking. We were able to troll in the boat for a couple of days and despite the wind it was fantastic. We each caught a few and I believe Kristi caught the most and the biggest. We each would have caught a dozen more but they'd hook up just fine but we were unable to get them to the boat. It was fun. We also spent one afternoon looking for horns but came up short except one spike horn that I found. It was nice to get out and excersice even though it just isn't as easy as it was now that I have a big tummy to lug around.
