It always passes too quickly. When I parked my truck at dawn on the opening morning of bird season I was surprised to see a sage grouse sitting on a rise, silhouetted against the lightening sky. I took it as a good omen even though the bird flew as soon as I stepped out of the truck. That seems a long time ago now and it has been nearly three months that I’ve been hunting this fall. For the first six weeks I hunted the early mornings to beat the heat and avoid the snakes, sneaking Ace out to t...

If you are lucky enough to have clear skies in the evenings you will be able to see the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn! It is the two brighter objects in the evening sky but not the moon! I saw a bald eagle sitting in the trees just south of my house! I know the farmers don't always look excited to see them, but I am! An eagle flew over when we buried my dad and just hovered in the sky above us! It has been a symbol for me ever since! I had a couple of young blades stop to visit me one...
About a week ago, I got to watch a large machine teardown the old Ezzie's Wholesale building about two years after they moved into their new building on Highway 2 in Malta.

I have heard rumors...

Sally Austin and Janice Reichelt went to Seeley Lake, MT to visit Patt Ivanovitch Donich and family. They o...
