I had prepared a rather lengthy blog this week, but bad news today changed my plans. Instead, we have a mixed bag including the sad loss of a fellow bowhunter, some videos I’ve been working on (for quite some time) and a success picture.

Loss Of A Fellow Bowhunter

Sadly I pass along the loss of fellow bowhunter Dale Oleson. Dale previously appeared on the Mostly Archery pages in dv and Friends Meet Laura Francese and he and his son joined us in August for our Montana pronghorn hunt, Pronghorn – Rained Out. Those who never met Dale may have heard of the family O&H Danish Bakery in Racine, Wisconsin where some pretty darned good Kringle (great morning starter for deer or pronghorn camp) is produced and has been featured on television. Best wishes to his family and, “happy hunting,” to Dale.

Videos

Mrs. dustyvarmint picked up a video camera to spy on Lexus while we were out and I’ve been trying to incorporate it into hunting. Finally I’ve put together two small videos. The first is from the Adaptive Sportsmen, Inc., turkey hunt I guided for this spring, dv’s 2009 Turkey Season – Fried Tag. The second is from my Pronghorn – Rained Out trip to Montana in August. I hope you like them.

Success Picture

Finally, outdoors buddy Seth called a while back to tell me he’d finally harvested a “black” gray squirrel. They are very prevalent where I work, but hunting them there would land me in a federal prison or shot so I’ve had a hard time fulfilling my desire to bring one home.

happy hunting, dv
