I have missed you knotheads. 
Hope ya don't mind if I swing by and say hello. Fall has been hectic but the grass has been strong and the calves look pretty good. Wife and kids are well. Between the hunts and fall gather we have kept busy but that is good. Thought I'd share a few pictures of our adventures. We spent a week hunting deer in our old haunts in S.E. Utah. Littlest H aint very little these days. We were sitting in a meadow watching for a good buck we'd seen on this evening.
Ya cant go hunting deer without a can or 2 of sausages in your pack.
We found a really old tree stand overlooking a notch in a canyon wall where deer and elk trail into the bottom for water. Littlest H gave it a look over and declared it habitable.
Mrs. H in her camo as we made a loop chasing deer. We struck out this year on bucks but we sure had fun anyway.
Its hard to beat the scenery in the mountains this time of year.
Even the bottom of a canyon was pretty.
Little H started middle school this fall. She is taller than her Grandma. We had our entire bunch down there and it was priceless. She hunts as good as her grandma too. Took her first doe here in the fields a few nights ago. Glad she looks like her momma!
2 varmints I happen to like quite a bit.
Grandmother and grandson. Peas in a pod
That country is full of rimrock and ledges. Lots of indian ruins and even a few caves. It makes for lots of fun checking out the country.
My bunch posing by a tree with a hitch in it's get-a-long.
A shot of a canyon called Hell's Hole. I think about every mountain range out west has a hells hole. This one Is aptly named. Shot a buck there one year and it was a 7 hour pack out.
Johnson Creek drainage looking toward Arizona.
Looking west at the Bears Ears on Elk Mountain. Its a long days ride from here to there even with all the technology we have today. It weren't very long ago it was a weeks ride a horseback with all the detours needed to miss the ledges and sheer canyons.
Don't know what that beautiful young lady sees in that homely bugger next to her? But sure glad I got her committed before her vision improved.
We gathered the cows and calves to precondition yesterday. It's been a wet summer and fall but its dried out some here lately. I love the west desert.
Gathering the old field at the homestead to corral the bunch prior to vaccinating.
The ol' oak brush was all dressed up in its best gown.
Headed down the canyon for the working corrals.
Hard at it. But it's a family affair and we had lots of good help.
Chance and Adam pushed calves into the alley all day. They had the tough job and did it just dandy.
We gave a nasal shot and 2 sub-q shots plus pour on. They will stay with their mothers til next Saturday and then we will wean them and ship them to Delta.
Everybody had a job. Even if it was superintendent of stick holding.
My Dad and my Daughter. Dad was the adult supervision for the project and little H gave a shot. I was the "soapweed" on the crew and took pictures. (kidding Soap)
The future of P/M livestock looks bright. JD is the new kid on the block and cuter than a bugs ear! Hope you all are well. May calves keep selling at the amazing prices they have been. Hope ya don't mind if I swing by now and then when I have a minute. Be Blessed in all you do. Have a fine evening!
