STRAIGHT SHOOTIN'

Over the last few weeks I have been gathering some hunting and fishing pictures from friends who have been successful. It's always a cool thing for me to hear their stories, and listen to all their lies about BIG FISH that got away, or monster Deer that took off before a shot could be fired. Every once in a while someone gets lucky and actually ends up bagging something. This is definitely the case with Chris Jensen and his first Deer. Chris shot this Doe on the run with a muzzle loader; thatta boy! According to him he is a hot shot and he dropped it from quite a distance. Too bad he shot it in the gut! He claims that it was a clean shot, but I really don't believe him. Just kidding man!Amanda Piechnik reminds us all that hunting is not strictly a guy's thing! I am stoked that there are a few girls out there that aren't squeamish about getting sweaty, dirty, and a little bloody for a chance to have some fun. Amanda shot her first Elk near Kimberly while hunting with her Dad, Frank, and friends. Frank also shot a nice whitetail buck on the same trip. Amanda is thinking about writing an article for a hunting magazine, and I hope that she gets it published.
Nathan Kelly is a friend of mine from Northwest Bible College. Nate is from Cranbrook and is part owner of Total Outdoor Adventures LTD where he works as a guide / outfitter. If you want to do some serious hunting Nate is your man. Check out his company: http://www.toaltd.com I don't know much about this Mountain Lion that he shot, but I can say that it is the biggest monster I have ever seen!

Well I'm all out of stories for today, and can't think of anything else to write at the moment...mosquitoes are eating me alive! Keep your stick on the ice.
