2009 Stealhead

2009-11-19T17:40:00.002-07:00

I caught this 5lb 'A' run Stealhead while fly fishing in the Boise River in November of 2009. This has been the best fish I have ever eaten. I broil it with soy sause, garlic, lemon, and Cabela's Salmon & Trout seasoning. I can wait until the 6th of February; I'm going on a guided Stealhead trip to Orofino, Idaho.

2009 spike (2 point) Elk

2009-11-04T18:00:00.000-07:00

I got this Elk in November of 2009. He was a lot bigger than the spike I got last year. His antlers are thicker than the 5 point Josh & I got in 2007. He may not be a record elk, but I have a freezer that is twice as full as normal. Michelle made Chili last night with the Elk Burger and I didn't even know until she mentioned it when getting ready for bed. The Elk salami is the best.

I have never seen the elk herded up as much as I did this year. On the last day, we saw about 100 head, but only one bull (a small spike). I hunted 4 days and saw elk (cows and bulls) every day.

2008 Spike Elk

2008-11-07T22:00:00.000-07:00

Here's my second elk ever. The rack is just a 1x2. I hunted 7 days in a row before coming across this small beast. I couldn't resist and had to take him. I can't say that is picture is much better than the deer picture below, but what can you do when you are hunting alone. I had to quarter this Elk in order to get it up the hill. I took 181 lbs of meat and bone to the butcher. I should be getting the meat back soon. I kept the tenderloin at home and made some up on Sunday .... mmmm yummy!

I about killed myself getting the elk up the hill. I lost 4.5 lbs that day.

2008 Mule Deer

2008-10-11T22:00:00.001-06:00

This is the biggest deer I've ever got! (I've only got two.) Unfortunately, my camera got water damaged on the hunt and I wasn't able to get a good picture. Just think of it as a hood ornament!

The weight at the butcher (No hide, head, lower legs) was 120 lbs. I had it all made into jerky. It is excelent!!!

Cod & Black Rock Fish

2008-04-12T17:11:00.005-06:00

Michelle & I just got back from the Oregon Coast. We went fishing and caught these fish. We came home with 2 cod & 12 black rock fish. We caught around 20 rock fish, but the limit was 12.

Sledding Trip

2007-12-24T00:24:00.000-07:00

The whole family went sledding on Christmas Eve. We took a trip to Idaho City and the snow was great. We tried to build an igloo, but it was too much work and the snow kept falling apart. The kids had a blast and were so tiered that they both fell asleep on the way home.

Autumn's Snowman

2007-12-10T12:36:00.000-07:00

Even though I was home sick, I could not resist taking Autumn outside to build a snowman before all the snow melted. She insisted that the snowman needed a hat, so so put another snowball on its head and said, "There now it has a hat!" She also discovered that it is fun to throw snowballs at Daddy.

Summer & Mommy

2007-12-09T13:10:00.000-07:00

While Daddy & Autumn stayed home sick from church, Summer & mommy went. I just had to take a picture when they got home.

2006-05-19T07:11:00.000-06:00

Autumn is holding Sweet Summer. If you can't tell, Autumn doesn't quite know what to think. When Autumn has been around, she hasn't wanted anything to do with Summer. However, she was excited when she first saw her. A nurse asked Michelle, "how are you doing sweetie?" Ever since Autumn calls Michelle "Sweet Mommy." I love the little Angel!

Summer Lillie Johnson

2006-05-18T16:50:00.000-06:00

Summer weighed 7lbs 8oz and was 21 in. long. She and mommy are doing well. With any luck we'll be home Friday night, otherwise it will be Saturday. Most everyone says Summer looks a lot like Autumn. I think she does a bit too, but I'm going to have to compare baby pictures.

This is a Kokanee Salmon from the South Fork, the first one I ever caught.

Michelle caught this Carp, but she wasn't about to take it off the line!

Another shot of the Brown.

Josh caught this nice Brown next to the bank of the Boise River. The water near the bank is just slow enough that fish love it there.
