Muzzle Loaders at Dusk

Jake And myself unloading our muzzle loaders after a fun afternoon of hunting. Also a picture of my new rifle (.308). Actually I purchased the rifle last month, the rifle has interchangeable barrels and I had gotten the muzzle loader version, but Michelle gave me a new barrel for Christmas. I Love Her More each year!!!

Been Busy

Started workin on the 4th bedroom in the house and have been busy at it. I have only lost my temper a few times and have hardly broken anything! Actually it is going smooth and I think it is going to be a great lair for my son, and then his Grandparents when they move in.

Hope all is well with everyone during this wonderful time of year, and I hope Santa brings you all what you need this Christmas, like a new rifle or new barrel for your new rifle(.308). Or even a tree stand, any kind of deer plot seed, rangefinder, ammo, camo clothing, scope, spotting scope, binoculars, ETC... Merry Christmas and God Bless us All!!!!!

First Virginia Deer

Shot a small buck this morning, thought it was a Doe but he had a couple of horns, need to get a better scope I think. Well after all the dust cleared I called home via Walkie talkie and talked to my Son Jake. I asked him to wake his Mom and have her drive my truck to where I was going to drag him out. Somehow in his thirteen year old mind he told his mom that I was at the end our road and to go pick me up. I was a good half mile from there, my wife being so sweet and helpful decided to try and turn my truck around on our dirt road and proceeded to get stuck in the wonderful red mud! Anyhow she was very upset and I talked to her the way a Husband usually does, and then quickly apologized. We got the truck unstuck using my ATV and she finally was happy that I bought it!

Went to pick my deer up that I left in the woods till we could get my truck, my loving wife came along to help, and there we were on the side of a country road, myself and my princess, in her Pajamas helping me load a deer into the back of my truck!

Fall in Amherst,VA

How nice it is here, from Jake slaying deer to cutting wood for a nice warm fire and the Fun of painting.

Trees Trees Trees

Had some trees removed from around the house this week,we hired a man (Cecil) who looks to be in his late sixties. He and his Son were next door putting in a septic system and he volunteered to take out the trees while they had their equipment up here. He did an awesome job and didn't charge us hardly anything for the amount of work he did. I did help a little and I think he might have charged me extra for that (LOL). Also had some help from Faith, who seems to want to use the Chainsaw!

New Home

Moved into our new home on Friday Oct. 31st. It is a log house on 6 acres at the top of a hill with beautiful Mountain Views. Been going deer hunting out the back and front doors! Hope Heaven is somewhat like this!

Overnight visit

Went to my wife's cousin Larry's house yesterday for an overnight visit, Now Larry is one of the reasons why I wanted to move to Virginia, he is a down to Earth person that I Respect a lot. We have a bunch of discussions about how the world should be and we agree on most of it!

Well anyway I put my scouting camera up at his property yesterday to see what is living down there in Ararat. So this morning I drove my truck(in the pouring rain) with Daughter Haley with me and went to retrieve it, only to find a flock of Turkeys wandering through the trees, man if only I had a gun. But wait, I had my crossbow with me! So I snuck through the trees, caught up with them and was able to shoot one and now it is in the Fridge!
