The weather has been so nice here it is hard to remember it is well into November. Jake and I spent Wednesday looking for pheasants without success. We drove clear down to a state wildlife management unit in Redmond—about a two-hour drive. It looked like a great spot, but we didn’t find a single bird, even with four dogs. Then we tried another spot near Nephi where we have had good success but there were no birds there either. At least Tank didn’t find any skunks. I think next time we’ll head north up toward Cache Valley. I’ve heard rumors of a bird or two still in that area.
We went elk hunting last Saturday. I saw the most elk but I didn’t have a tag. We were with some friends and got into a big herd. Our friends all tried to be polite and wait for someone else to shoot first and in the end no one did and the elk were gone. We’re going again tomorrow and I suspect no one will be polite anymore.
We haven’t heard anything new about Jed, Cally and Harvey. So we’re planning for the 19th, but it’s hard to know if that will actually come to pass or be delayed.
We’re also gearing up for Thanksgiving. I think we might have a pretty big gathering. We might have to start cooking any day.
I’m attaching a picture of Katelynn and Harvey in their Halloween costumes. They were both tigers. Katelynn takes her animal impersonations pretty seriously. She wore her costume to the zoo and roared at the tiger when they got to its enclosure. The tiger roared back, very loudly, and Lindsay waited to see Katelynn’s reaction. Instead of being afraid, she roared again and the two of them stood there roaring for several minutes with the sound echoing all around the zoo.
As far as the next reunion, I read the information on Big Bend. No offense, but since I’ve never been to Texas I’m not sure I want to spend my time in the desert. I’ve seen plenty of those. If we are not going to be in Dallas, is there someplace along the coast that would be nice?

Wow! Katelyn looks just like Jacob in this picture. I have some photos of him at this age and I swear that little face is his!
