 Day 5 of the Montana Hunt - Giving thanks for Gods Blessings in his creation ! 

 Started the day as we have done most! Up at 0530, then a quick snack breakfast - Andrew loves peanut butter and his coffee.  We began the day with a prayer of blessing and thanksgiving then headed out.
Andrew and I decided our Bible reading for today should be from John Chapter 14 .
“

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” - John 14:1-7 NIV Andrew enjoyed meditating on these while waiting on the deer to arrive, he saw the " big one" again, unfortunately it was 300 yards away. Other interesting wildlife spotted however including a coyote at 30 yards and a woodpecker much closer.




 Marks morning was filled with lots of walking chasing after antelope. Good exrcise at least. Plus the bonus weas the sights while travling back and forth to hunting area. Big timber MT downtown, cattle grazing, and big sky country looking south of town.

 Breakfast/ brunch was Montana sausage and egg sandwiches with a side of mule deer tenderloin.

 Then a quick trip into Bozeman for an antelope decoy and to gawk at all the stuff at sportsmans warehouse.


 Then it was back to the woods and hills for us both. Yes the new antelope decoy did work as it pulled the buck from his harem of does but only to 96 yards, just a little too far for a bow in 20mph wind

 Andrew has acquired some really serious blind construction skills here in MT working with not much to conceal himself. And the antelope decoy did work..just not close enough for a shot with my bow. Quarter moon signaled end of another super day of hunting.

Sunset again was gorgeous as we finished the day with a late supper of pork chops and good ole mashed taters.. Hearty fare for two hungry hunters.
