The pictures above are from our Montana buddy Ted Allison who treated us to dinner at his home when we were there back in August. I'm not sure how to describe what a great person Ted is. He and his family live on 128 acres about an hour from any town in central Montana. They homeschool their kids and he and his dad build log homes together. Ted has been bow hunting for a long time and these pictures are just an example of what hard work at hunting can produce. That bull will feed his family all winter long. Ted we thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us and we all here in NC are so proud to know you and we thank God for your friendship. Thanks again for sharing these photos with us and all my best to you and your family. Please give the folks at Central Baptist Church our best as well. We love you all.

Big Time Dove Hunt

Dove Hunting is a great Southern tradition. It’s a good hunting experience for kids too. You don’t have to be still like in a deer stand. The kids can pretty much run around and play to their hearts content. Then when the birds are flying they get to be “bird dogs” and retrieve them. Jack got to retrieve his first dove yesterday. We had a great time and I shot a lot of shells and there were very few birds that were in danger. My shooting skills have diminished; it is indeed a perishable skill. We had Dads and sons and daughters on our hunt. Special thanks to Scott Isley and Jeremy Harrell for setting it up. The weather was perfect and the birds were numerous. All in all a great day!

Dove Hunt on Monday

Monday afternoon there will be a dove hunt. If you are interested in going we meet at Cornerstone in Cleveland NC at 4:00. If displayed a picture of my dove gun with all its cool accessories. Notice the target recognition book, that is must for every dove hunter. I went into the woods for the first time yesterday to scout my deer location. I had my new Wal-Mart ghillie suit on, you know the one that makes you look like a brier patch. It was hot, but it sure was good getting back in the woods. I didn't wee anything but rumor has it there was a 7 pointer spotted on our property just a few days ago. With the weather changing this should be a good weekend to see some stuff.
