Dayom nice Rosco. I hope you find him in season some time.

I guess 1 or 2 of yesterdays dove were a little rare but man were they delicious, sweet, juicy and tender. Napkin ended up a little red in areas.

That looks like a guinea hen??

Ma and me getting Christmas dinner on.

Three little Conrad kids helping with a emergency oil change at the Conrad Speed Shop.

He is now a junior studying mechanical engineering at Texas A&M. Time flies.

One looks kinda big and wyugly. Blocks out the other kids.

Great pics Kamo. How did that g fowl taste. They have eggs a little smaller than a chicken but they arr really hard and can leave a real knot on ones head if hit in an egg fight with cousins.

Haha!

Yeah, I have to stand in the back or they wont get enough sun.

No schieet. Come on Jim give us some decent pics of those kids sometime.

This is about the best one I have of all three of em.


Plus Ethan the Oxen.

They can drill a great number of wells from one location. I work in Western Wyoming but the idea is pretty much the same everywhere. Drill directionally with a lot of different trajectories from the same location to minimize what they call “the footprint”on the landscape. The average pad in this part of the world has sixteen wells on it. I’ve worked on pads on the western slope of Colorado that had sixty four wells on the same pad.

Had a pretty good day yesterday. Friday. Had the third case ive seen in 30 years of Posner Schlossman Syndrome of Glaucomatocyclitic crisis man come in at 11 with red eye of two weeks in such severe pain he finally came to the conclusion he wasnt an eye dr worth a crap. Inflammatory glaucoma rarely seen in some arthritis patients. Arthritic Eye? Crap. Pressure in one eye 3 times normal. Dilation to rule out intraocular tumor or reaction to intraocular parasite or retinal infection or detachment reaction knocked out a lot of the redness he presented with. I started what will hopefully be eye saving treatment with prescrittions steroids, sulfa derivatives, beta blockers, anti inflammatories, and alpha adrenergic drugs.

The eye looks better after phenylepherin testing for scleritis.



I got the pressure down a bit and the long haired fu man chu braided chin beard democrat said oh thank you man i could tell i was going blind in that eye and I pointed north and said, "Praise the Lord and God bless Trump, see you in here Monday AM Lord willing." He gave me north pointed thumbs up and i hauled as home later than planned.

Crap. Unreal. Of course, Postimage is down. Maybe i can post pics another day.
Then hauled ass home, hauled ass, changed clothes, grabbed my gun and hauled ass 120 miles to southwest desert canyon country. Sat in a spot watching a draw for a whitevtailed doe. A couple got by in the brush when i couldnt get a clear shot. Watched a nice young one come into a clearing and nibble the fresh wintervgreens. Then a short tined 8 point and then a little 3x3. <a href='https://postimg.cc/hJn0HPrD' target='_blank'><img src='https://i.postimg.cc/hJn0HPrD/20190125-150114.jpg' border='0' alt='20190125-150114'/></a>

I could hear nothing but the breeze and mountain jays as i watched 4 muleys on the open face of a north facing ridge across the valley and about 900 yards from me. I couldnt see horns but it wascfar for my 8x Zeiss bda or whatevers.

There were a few elk on the side hills a good way up the valley but i saw no antlers. They are probably dropped by now.

It was so calm and peaceful and i started to feeling sorry for the 18 mo old young grey thing i decided maybe no fresh venison this year.

Strangely i happened to be watching as the baby and 3x3 looked at each other and laid their ears back a smidgeon. Suddeny the nice 8 wheeled and charged going between them and shaking his rack. The two busted apart in opposite directions several yards apart before starting to browse again. I thought, "WTH" and put the glass on jr and finally with its head and ears just right i could pick out the budding of things dreams are made of as time passes by.

PTL i had earlier lost my desire to smell bloody hands and deer guts. Rancher wouldnt have been too happy. I headed back to the ranch house and he felt sorry for me and loaded me on the 4 wheeler on a pupulation reduction expidition. Not far and we saw a pair and he said "Shoot". I tried to get a bead but wasnt in the mood and with the brush i told him to ease up as i need a clear shot. He said if we move up they run. I said "move up". They ran i sighed, "Ha, two big fawns". He said "meat".

Went a bit further and a nice doe stuck her head up above the brush at 80 yds. He said "Shoot her in the head". Giving up i lied, "I'll try". I hate head shooting unless one is wounded and running away so i took a bead with these great old eyes the Lord gave me, said a prayer and let one fly. It was as if lightening hit her in the neck.

My Win 94 thudy thudy caught a deer.

Drove 30 miles from ranch after dark headed home with fresh meat on a two lane marked blacktop north to I-20 without seeing one other vehicle. Unreal. Like 1950 again, before commie dimocraps took over.

Yep, it was a pretty nice day.

My new toy. Ruger #1 in 35 Whelen with a Leupold VX Freedon 3-9x40. Gonna take it to the range tomorrow and give it a try.

Nice herd of elk just crossed the Madison River at Black’s Ford.
