Hiking with Guns 1

Eastern Oregon Blue Mountain squirrel are picturesque. Especially in a rainy woods- Because it was so wet, Jon took quite a few forest photos. 





It also snowed above the guys and both decided it was a cold way to hunt. 

Jon went out again on Monday. Steve worked. Jon got his deer and Tony celebrated from afar with a couple of quips. The first one is rather apt since Jon actually discovered the deer he was watching was a buck duo sitting in the tall grass and brush. After Jon shot the nearer deer, the other sort of stood around and then wandered off. Jon really wished his dad had been there! 


Jon dragged it across the grasses with a four wheeler and then got it into a trailer (I think this is how the story goes. However, I'm sure he'll tell anyone who asks!) 

He got it out of the trailer with Bob. Definitely a good use of different sorts of tools and truly a Red Green sort of handiness..without the duct tape! 



 This sunset is from a couple of days BEFORE deer season, but it always good to end with one.

Who is watching whom???

Early in September, Jon spied this owl outside. He finally sent me some of the photos he took!!!
 Look at those talons- YIKES! I'm so glad the cats were inside.


 What a baleful stare!! LOL

 I'm assuming the predator finally took his rest. Incredible beauty to find hanging out in the locust tree! Steve and I figured this is a great horned owl. Jon felt it wasn't big enough.
