As you all know hunting season is now in session. One of the first things I learned aobut Scott was hunting is a long loved tradition in his family. After being with Scott for the last two hunting seasons, i've come to enjoy the sport, but you will never catch me in on the game. I have to laugh every time Scott tries to educate me about the sport, but it is intresting. Good luck Scott and to all you hunters this year.

Deer season

Oh we have so many great memories of deer hunting as a family. I still remember Scott's first deer up at our cabin and watching him clean it was hilarious. Scott was just like one of our family. Good luck this hunting season. Thanks again for coming to join Team 801 the other night!
As past-president of the Intermountain Chapter of PETA (my cousin Lisa has succeeded me), and as a failed pledge of the Order of the Elks, I would like to publicly register a complaint against my younger brother who shoots Bambis and Rudolphs, and in so doing, shatters the hopes and kills the dreams of little boys and girls everywhere.
His crime is unthinkable; his heart made of lead. His "sport" will result in more deer falling dead. Santa can't fly nor the forest stand tall, when Scooter hangs deerheads and horns on his wall.
As you well know, my husband is also a hunter. Not just any hunter, mind you. He is the Great White Hunter. He combines his passionate love of nature and the great outdoors with his deep sense of spirituality and oneness with the universe and goes out to kill defenseless animals. Although I have succeeded Cousin Jeff as President of the Intermountain Chapter of PETA, I am coming to terms with this because I love him.
Since you are so newly married and fully support all of Scooter’s activities, you may not realize that you soon will become a hunting widow yourself. I will kindly give you the signs so you may be aware of what will happen to you.
1.You will see that his invitation for you to join along quickly turns from “let’s be together in the fresh air of the mountains, getting exercise together” to “can you stay back in camp and get dinner prepared for us so it will be hot and ready when we come back with our fresh kill?”
2.You will give him permission (much to your surprise) to put his gameheads up in the living room of your house. Your only concession should be to fill the room with lots of plants, have the animals’ faces poking through the greenery, have a soundtrack of tribal drums on a continuous loop and hang up a sign that says “Jungle Room”.
3.You will purchase an upright full-size freezer in advance of his return from a hunt. It will be big enough to hold some ice cream with up to 585 pounds of meat.
4.You will have no idea where in the forests and mountains of North America that your husband is except that his buddies assured him that the hike up the mountain-side was so rugged and remote that no one will be in the area. And this will not worry you.
5.You will spend hours looking up how to prepare boar, sheep, goose, dove, grouse, and moose meat on the internet. I mean, it’s the least you can do since your husband is out sacrificing life and limb to bring you meat on the table and food for the winter, right?
Britt you're a good wife to be supportive of your husband. I thought marrying Andy was letting me off the hook with the hunting stuff, and it did...but I've come to realize every guy has their "thing", and Andy's happens to be sports events. I was thinking about you on your b-day, but my phone was temporarily lost in the couch so I couldn't call. We love you though.
Your blog looks so professional. I'm starting to get "into" this media and love seeing your updates. We are so proud of all of the great things your family is doing and all that you are accomplishing. Love, Mom
I have a great idea! We can be hunting widows together! we'll go shopping and hang out and we'll send the boys to broke back mountain together, oh wait... i think if we lean on eachother we can make it through another hunting season! (p.s. i really hope you guys move down here to Spanish, it would be soo great)!
