Be sure to vote. I voted by absentee ballot and I will be glad when the election is over. Congratulations to the Penguin/North Country Mavericks team for winning games against the Circle Wildcats!

Good luck to them. On Saturday night there was a dart tournament, auction and dinner at the North 40. It was...

Things have been very quiet around town. Bonnie Lankford and her crew came up and did a couple of little favors for Dora which was very appreciated. Nathan Solberg was home visiting his Mom, Polly...
It seems that the antelope have started gathering into large groups. I saw two larger groups on my trip to Malta on Friday. I went over to Senior Meals on Wednesday.

My 13-year-old grandson Isaac shot his first pheasant last week. He was using the shotgun I’d given him last year. A Model 1200 Winchester pump, it had been a Christmas present to me from my father more than 50 years ago. I never saw the bird that Ace flushed from a thicket of willow saplings as it rose cackling into a stiff wind blowing off Fort Peck Lake.

Museum Notes Oct 21 Hunting season is upon us! I think Ernest Hemingway described the emotion associated with bird hunting when he said “I think they were all made to shoot because if they were not why did they give them that whirr of wings that moves you suddenly more than any love of country.” Private individuals can be credited with the first attempt to bring pheasants to Montana. Success did not come to these individuals until Montana had irrigated lands to provide much-needed habitat and food. Dr. Charles Thornton, a Montana phy...
