Antelope Hunting 2009

This year my mom and dad (Cathy and Alan) were lucky enough to draw antelope tags for Easter Oregon ... I was not :(

The trip started out with mom, dad and Quigley driving up the Wednesday before the season starting on that following Saturday (8/15/09). My family (Cindy, Grace, Natalie, Ryann, Colby and myself) drove up the Friday before. I was up there for a supporting role as a guide for mom and dad; helping them glass, pack, drive truck in support to getting them each an buck antelope.

We where able to go out glassing that Friday night to see where the antelope would be bedding down for the night, as usual the next morning they were no where to be seen. So we got a good walk in for the morning hunt on Saturday.

Time off for some fishing

Today we took the afternoon off and several of us (Grandpa Ashforth, Natalie and myself)headed to the high Cascade Lake and did some shore fishing at South Twin.

Natalie was trying out her new Barbie fishing pole while dad and I used our trusty old fishing poles that have delivered in the past .....but as luck would have it the new Barbie fishing pool ruled the day and pulled in the only Bullhead fish caught that afternoon in our fishing party.
