"Daddy is going to get those geese!"

 
 Brent had these last two weeks off from work and was really excited to do a little hunting. He says it's relaxing.... I like being warm - like sitting in my bathingsuit on a tropical island....  Alas, Brent packed his long johns and hand warmers and sat outside ALL day in the 22 degree snow and wind and waited for the birds.
Brent's view from his hideout
The first time he went (December 12th), the hunters reached their limit by 10am and he was home "early"; this time wasn't so speedy and he was out in the cold until the sun went down.
There were nine in his group, but Brent is a pretty good shot - he said he dropped at least seven of them on his own.

The return home wasn't so nice - he had to come back over Snoqualmie Pass (I-90) which while he hunted, added another foot of snow to bring the total to over TEN FEET. Chains were required on all non-four-wheel drive vehicles and he saw six cars that had slid off in to the embankment. Good thing he was safe and secure in the Tundra!
Yay - we love having Daddy home!!! :)
