A Little Sledding

 

It didn't take long to go explore and create some sledding runs.  The boys didn't venture too far as we got a start but had a great time.

New Mexico

 

Just before Christmas we headed off for Angel Fire, New Mexico.  We decided to take the Southern route in order to stop by Roswell.  Very stringent China Virus protocols but we did have a nice, small lunch.

The Mind of Jacob

 

With some time on his hands, Jacob designed and played putt-putt golf on this afternoon.  Made up of all his animal bones using a knot-hole in the decking as the cup.

Deer

 

We had not shot a deer in a few years but we finally took down one more.  After we got him moved, Jacob declared that he had seen enough killing for one trip but he was the first person back in the blind on the next trip!

More Hogs

 

Although we were pleased to be down four hogs, the work was just beginning.

Then it was time for a memorable photo opp.

Hog Problem

 

During that same trip we happened upon a problem with a few hogs.  Even when one fell, another would come back.

The boys were pleased.

Then it all happened again the next day at the other feeder.
