Taxidermy deer mount #17

OK, so no one cares about dead deer. I do and that is all that matters. Like Janet always says, "Every picture of you and grandpa have something dead in front of you." This time the dead is by itself, however, hanging on my wall.

This deer mount turned out to be one of the best I have done. I guess the more you do the better you get. It still takes a long time but I think I still enjoy doing them. I now need to find three days to spend on doing Roger's elk. That will be a big job but can't wait to see the end results. I'm sure Roger would like to see it too.

We have been sick for the past week with Flu and colds. Spring will be here soon!!!!

FOUR EYES

Wow! can you believe I finally went and had my eye examine! Dr. told me I needed bifocals but since I have never had glasses, he suggested I go with single vision for now. I picked them up yesterday and I don't like them already. They hurt my eyes. I guess I will get used to them with time. My right side is still blurry so I think they are wrong. The left eye is great. I can actually read thing far away with it. I will give it some time but I think I will have to get a new right lens. Brandon also got glasses. He looks like Levi with them on. Please don't laugh at me when you see them.

Plan to see everyone Saturday the 7th at Ashley's "shower" in KS.

2009

I am finally making a post in 2009. I have a lot to write about but don't know what to write about. Perhaps it will just be nothing. Hope all are well and I'll dig for a picture to post.

Found this one with grandma Wiggins in it. Keep praying for her. Also put a pic of colorful flowers to make us wish for SPRING! It won't be long.

CHRISTMAS 2008

We had a great time but missed Ashley and grandma Wiggins. Soon we will be able to say Douglas too.

Enjoy the most recent family pictures.

75 YEARS YOUNG

WOW, my dad is 75. If you know my dad, you would never believe him to be 75. He is a wonderful man who looks and acts much younger than his age. He is in my opinion and I'm sure others, the best man in the world. He would do anything to help others. He is a loving man who cares about everyone. He is a great example of a Christian man.

I just want to say Happy Birthday dad and I love you. You are the Best!!!

Is that a KISS or what!

While deer hunting the other day, I happened to notice these two trees that are in love. I must say, I have never seen a tree kiss another tree. Boy they sure are UGLY!

"Hey honey, want a KISS?"

TEN POINTER DOWN

Another MO rifle season is upon us. Roger, Bill D. and I went to the Princeton, MO area to hunt. I was able to harvest this 10 pointer on Saturday morning at first light. Roger shot a big 10 pointer Sunday pm. I haven't seen his yet but will get a few pictures and post.

I was able to get permission to hunt this land by sending a letter to the owner who lives in Iowa on the Mississippi River area. He was very nice and we were able to talk for about 30 minutes by phone. It is so nice to have land owners who let you hunt.
