A few season pictures

Brad the sleds worked great, had all two lines of them out, heck even had harli's fly into them and shot GE's over them also.

We "WILL" get together next season and hunt!!

Thanks guys for the comments

Tod,, the whole mule thing is one of my favorite things to do in life, I have raised them, trained them and lived with them for over 40 years, one thing about it is you never quit learning about them , they have the most varied and distinct personalities you can imagine, bottom line is if you treat them right from day one they will take care of you forever, mistreat them and they will never forgive you!

There is a real misconception about mules that they are stubborn, nothing could be farther from the truth , they are just very cautious about things that are new to them, and very rarely will they do something that will get them hurt. You can not force things on them they learn at their pace.

There is nothing more satisfying in life than to pack your loads on a mule , having them balanced out just right so you don't have to mess with them and head into the mountains for a week or longer, no phones ,no computers , just you, your string and the mountains, that is where you realize that your a pretty insignificant part of the world and that mother nature and your stock in in charge of how well you do in the hills.

Enough of my philosophy's of life!! , I need to get back into my deep depression of duck season being over!!

I do love the backcountry and have only gotten there by plane or my legs, so some sort of pack animal is appealing.

As for mules and their memory - that is a concern. I need lots of forgiveness from everyone around me - including my animals :). Labs vs chessies mules vs what? Maybe goats or llamas.
 
Thanks for catching us up, Fred.
You're description of a mule sounds a lot like an old retired duck hunter ;-)
 
Very nice Fred. Good to see that some birds showed up out your way. Looks like you had a ton of fun doing a variety of things.
 
Hey Fred - Great pics. Tell Spencer I have a job for him down here in N. Cali any time he wants. We need a good guy running safety for us.
