A few shots from the trail cam



It definitely looks like the the bulls have pulled into the winter range with the storms that we have been getting lately. Even a few coyotes have been hunting in the area. Hopefully, the bulls will stick around to drop their horns, and we can call the coyotes in for a shot.

Leta Ekker Bartholomew


Leta Ekker Bartholomew passed away from this life on November 20th 2007 after complications from a broken hip and subsequent surguries. Services were held on November 28th 2007 at The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints in Encino, California.
Leta is survived by her sons John Bartholomew of Westminster, Ca, David Bartholomew of Van Nuys, Ca, Gerrit Bartholomew of Santa Clarita, Ca, and her daughter Maren Ruesch (Brian) of Sun City, Ca. Leta was preceded in death by her husband of 44 years, M. Grant Bartholomew, and her son, Harrison F. Bartholomew.

Aunt Leta was one of the greatest people that I ever knew. It was a great time to attend her funeral and spend time with family remembering what a great person she was. She is in a better place and reunited with her eternal companion, Uncle Grant.

A really great tribute to her has been set up and can be seen at the following web address.

We will all miss her dearly.

Thanksgiving


It was our year to stay home and party with Mickey's family. It was a good time. We started off by doing a little hunting. Jens was able to take his first rabbit. He was pretty dang proud, as you can see.















Kendall Helped her mother prepare potatoes to take over to Gram's for the big feast. She is a good little helper for her mother.















Friday Night, me and the Boys went camping with Cole and his boys. It was way cold. We all stayed in a tent. We burnt a ton of firewood. Dayton's cow hunt started on Saturday. He wasn't able to close the deal, but we did see some elk. It was a fun start to a good hunt. He has a month or more, so we didn't want to screw it up, by killing on the first day.
