Finally, It's back home!!!!







I had the opportunity last September to hunt antelope. After many unsuccessful years of trying to get a tag, I lucked out last year and boy was it an adventure. They are fast little buggers, and even harder to hit if your gun isn't sighted in!!! I finally was successful in bagging the game and brought it home to display. It is a very bad smelling animal so luckily it took the taxidermist six months to get it done. It was a fun hunt and the animal is actually kind of cool looking. Thanks to Lorie for putting up with me and allowing me to display this beast in the house. That has got to be true love. I have always wanted something to hang in the family room, now it is on to bigger animals now!!!! Here are some before and after pictures of this magnificent animal.

Okay, I know why I'm up at 3:00 a.m., but what are you doing up after midnight when you have to work??? The antelope looks great. You should see the bruise it left on Brandon's thigh. Oh well, he will survive. Isn't there a sang that goes, "if you're going to play with the big bulls, you're going to get the horn" or something like that.

Your sister is so weird :) Okay in my eyes Lori is a saint because there is no way you would be hanging that on my wall. I would have nightmares. It is pretty cool though. You have alot of Bracken blood in you.
