That's great Temple. Really enjoy the fact you are taking those little fellas out teaching the right ways. Put me in coach, I don't smoke. Love to take the three of you out for the day chasing small game. Those little hares don't stand a chance this fall being white with no snow. Keep it up..

Thanks JR! We’ll have to take you up on that. The hares do stick out.

Oldest got his first bow harvest, also his first rabbit! It made a fine stew with the others.

My wife bought them little compounds for last Christmas, they just don't feel right! I got a good deal on that white recurve, and I found 2nd kids green recurve in the dump. People! I twisted a string for it and he's shooting.

Since the snow dusting rabbits have gotten harder to spot. We been trying to snare them around the neighborhood, but the fox beat us to most of them. Too many loose dogs to try to set for them, but I may try to predator call them.

Oldest got this one.

2nd says he set the snare that got this, I think I agree with him.

We woke our snowmachines up this week and got in a little riding. Poor 2nd born got smacked in the face by a little spruce when we were turning the Tundra around, but he's tough and trooped through. Oldest has a handle on throttle control, but 2nd can't find a happy medium between no throttle and full throttle! May have to rig the "village governor" back up.

Thanks! It started with a crappy little yellow fiberglass bow that someone threw away.

Between my work schedule and their school, we haven't been able to get out much, but we try.

We got in a bit of ice fishing a couple weeks ago. Lots of fish bumped, one landed. Each boy hooked a monster pike, 2nd born's looked like real log! But both spat the hook before coming through the hole.

We been running a little line for rabbits.

Perfect neck catch with a 120 in a trail!

We had another snared as well. Added them to the freezer, going to try a big batch of "rabbit" wings some time.

I'm pretty proud of how both are doing with their bows.

Oldest shooting a can.


2nd popping some balloons.


They don't get to do this for free, they pack firewood and I'm trying to get myself and them to be better about not wrecking the house...it's a work in progress.

Be safe out there!

Excellent journal! I loved the video of your moose, caribou, and squirrel hunt. Keep it coming.


It's tough being human.

We try! This week we got in some more shooting, some ice fishing, and beat the fox to a few rabbits! Got a good batch in the freezer now, figure on doing some buffalo wings this week.
