The boys all went up the Salmon River for their annual hunting trip last week. They had a great time! Don, Detrik and Damon drove up from Boise, and Tom and Tristan came from Montana. It was a longer, windier drive than Tom expected I think. But they all made it safely, and came home very happy. This was Tristan's first hunt, and he was successful! He shot a 5x3 Mule Deer buck!! Only 1 shot too! What a hunter! Detrik shot a baby deer, but it is meat in the freezer, so who cares! And Damon shot a 4x4. I haven't seen any pictures of his yet, so have none to share! As soon as I get some I will post them. Tom caught an amazing Steelhead. It was a wild fish, so you can't keep them. He also caught a hatchery fish that he brought home. I hate fish, and it was actually really good! Dustin got stuck at home with mom for the week. We had a good time though. I made him go to the fabric store with me, that was the highlight of the weekend!! We also went and saw Secretariat, went to his last football game of the season, and stuff like that. It wasn't all torture for him!
Tom thinks that the tree in the picture was struck by lightning. He said the strike curled around and down to the ground.
