Wal I'll be......sum Injun done gone and got my bow! Now whut in the world would an Injun want with my bow?....huh? ....oh, yeah,.... uh......never mind. ::)
Joe, I sure wish, we had some of that weather down here, despite what ol wussy, Eddie says. He gets goose bumps at 70 degrees. Needs more iron in his system! Yep they are going after more coral, and I can't go with them, I have a Family get together on that Sat. . :( But hopefully I will be able to make a trip with them, before I go out to Montana again. I am going out in July, for a month, and then come back and load up some stuff, and start carting it back out to Montana. The house is finished! Just got to get this place emptied, and cleaned up , and on the market. I hope you don't have any problem with the Griz. You have a front end loader? Makes a great problem solver of nuisance critters..... ;) >:D Keep yer pistol or rifle handy while traveling out side......Never leave home without it. ;) Hope the horses are alright.

Wolf Watcher:
Wayne: You got them Indians figured out. Finally got to get to the horses today and they are fine, thanks. Planning on going to Helena this coming week end to haul my grand daughter's belongings to her. We have a lone cow elk hanging in a rocky draw across from the house and we hope she calves there. You need to come by for a visit when you get a chance. Just don't bring a bow you want to keep! Joe
butterbean:
Hey, stickbender, If youcan't make that coral run with mullet maybe he'll share. He said he shipped a box to wolfwatcher. Oh, I think he has handled more real cold weather than most on here. He probally got smarter along with being the good looking one in the family.
stickbender:
Joe, I would love to stop by some time. I have cousins in Billings. In fact the Elder cousin is from Riverton, and his Daughter n Law, is from Thermopolis. They all live in Billings now. His Grand Daughter is getting married in August, so I will be there for that, but I won't have the time to make any side trips, as the "Newly Weds" are going to be staying at my place in Thompson Falls, for their honey moon. 8) I want to take them on the scenic tour, of the area. I should have them injuns figured out alright. My Father's grand mother was full Cherokee, and a good friend of mine is Apache. ;) When I was in the army, I had a Friend who was Sioux. He always wore his little beaded medallion, his Grand Mother made for him. One night, after a GI party, and everyone was sitting outside, and drinking a few beers, and smoking.......uh, yeah, smoking, ......we heard this drumming coming from inside, and this chanting, sing song, going on, and we go in, and there he is, sitting on his bunk, with the metal trash can turned upside down, and eyes closed, and just lost in his own world. Well being typical GI's, we didn't want to intrude on his tranquil meditation, so......yeah, right, we all grabbed what we could find for a drum, and kept up with him. >:D Didn't phase him one bit..... ;D We had one guy, whose last name was Eagle. One day were sitting around talking, and they were going to town, for the evening, and all of a sudden it hit me, and I started laughing out loud, and he somehow knew, when he said, you're going to do something to me aren't you? Why perish the thought. ::) Just go on out and have a good time. ::) Well they did. But when they came back in about 12 or 1 a.m. or so, Poor Mr. Eagle, was somewhat surprised at his bunk. I took the mattress, and bedding off. On each rack was the last name of the person sleeping in that bunk. Well, when he got back he found an Eagle's nest, instead of a mattress, and bedding! ;D >:D Well what would expect for someone named Eagle? ;D I had gone over to the park next to us, and gathered bunch of sticks, and twigs, and leaves, and then proceeded to make an Eagle's nest. I took some feathers from my pillow, and lined it, and put some on the outside. Fortunately, he got a big kick out of it, and had to take pictures with it, and send them home. People must have thought I was nuts, I was laughing the whole time, I was gathering the materials.
I hope your elbow gets better, and you get to try out all those new bows. You need to put some of that Montana Emu oil on it! I hope all goes well with Elk calving. Our calf numbers was up a little bit from last year, which is good. Since they introduced the wolves, the numbers have declined. Thankfully they had a mild winter, so that helped. Keep your eyes peeled for the Griz. He would love to sneak in at dark, and grab a calf! Take care,
Wayne
Wolf Watcher:
Wayne: The first elk calf of the season showed up on the hill across the road. We have had so many problems with the wolves and grizzlies that any calf is a blessing! The moose that we would see every day are all but gone! On one of my trips to Oklahoma to visit our ansestor's Indian grave yard there was one of my relatives with a stone that read, "HE WAS AN HONEST INDIAN"! Well that would be a pretty good thing to be remembered by! It will work out for us to get together someday and maybe Huston will be through with Texas and we can show you some of Wyoming. We don't get to town to check the mail very often, but since Eddie said he sent me some coral I am going to make it if I have to ride my mule! Joe An eagle's nest would not make for a very comfortable bed!
