Special Announcement!

Wednesday the firearm deer hunting season began in KS. This year Scott & Lydia came to spend a few days to hunt here, and Moses and Micah were going to spend their second year in the field-- both of them hoping for their first deer ever. So far, no one in our family had harvested a deer although they'd all taken shots and seen plenty of deer. Seth, having harvested two 8-point bucks in previous years decided to hold out for something very, very big.
As I was assembling another post for our blog this afternoon, the phone rang. A quick check of the caller ID revealed the number for Esther's cell; surprising since she was out hunting with Micah. It was early yet, and still legal shooting time for around a 1/2 hour, so I wondered that she would be calling so early to be brought home. As I answered the phone it suddenly occured to me that they just might have had an successfull hunt, and need the truck to haul home a dead deer.........the excitement in her voice left me without a doubt.
Micah and his trophy!!
(Naturally, Seth's just a little bit envious!!) :)

How's that for an amazing buck?!?!

Micah and his hunting partner!

What a great rack!! This is Micah's very first deer, which makes it twice as exciting!


Happy and excited!!

Little brother is very impressed!!
