Thanksgiving in IL

First things first, I killed this doe on our Thanksgiving visit back home. Someone, I think Cheryl, asked me to quit showing hunting pics and show pics of the kids. So, this picture is for you Cheryl. HA!

We had a great trip home over Thanksgiving. The trip seemed short due to all the driving it required, so we plan to make the trips a little longer in the future if possible. I got in about four hunting trips and was only rained out on one. I killed the doe the first morning I went. Olivia got to go with me on my last hunt and her favorite part was watching a group of does run when they saw us. That wasn't my favorite part. Olivia counting down the last five minutes after I told her "only five more minutes" made me laugh and was my favorite part of the hunt.

We didn't get to visit with as many people as we would have liked due to time constraints but we did enjoy the short visits had. If we didn't make it to see someone, it wasn't because we've forgotten you.

It has finally started snowing here, so I'll try to get up some snow pics soon. We thought we were going to ski this weekend but the mountain we have passes for isn't open yet because of the lack of snow.

I have another tag for a cow elk that runs from Dec. 1 to Jan. 14. This tag is a rifle tag, so maybe I'll finally shoot an elk, but I wouldn't count on it.
