Scenes From Montana

Llamas in the north country.

It's not all pretty sunsets and cute animals in Montana

Our most important crop! Two Big Bucks
Beth Wicks took this 4x5 Muley at 55 yards with a left handed .270 Browning Medallion. She left me a home with the three kids and went out and shot this bruiser by herself, only calling me for help when it was time to do the cleaning. Unofficial score is 164. It is 20" wide and 5" beam. Beth was so happy to get this buck, she didn't think she would get one, because of having a two month old to take care of. Congratulations Beth

big bucks
These two deer were taken from the same blind at the same time. Mark Wicks (left) shot the 24" 5x5 muley, score 162. It was shot by a .270 Browning with a 10 power Bushnell Elite 3200 at 255 yards. Steve Bowman (right) shot this 4x4 whitetail, score 123. He used a Savage Model III with 3-9 Simmons scope at 355 yards. This is Steve's first deer. We have him hooked on hunting for life now! Steves wife, Patsy also shot a nice doe with the same rifle at around 300 yards.
What a great place to live. All three of these bucks came off the same property within 500 yards of each other. What a great place to live!Where else will you find Elk, antelope, muley, moose, and whitetail on the same property.

Breaks shining like gold in the morning light. The silver object in the bottom is a rifle barrel

Beth's antelope in 2003

Hunter & Jewel age 5 and 3

2003 Garden, it was a good year for squash. That is our first watermelon.

Our first warehouse on the Farm. Hunter is driving the UTS Minneapolis, and Jewel is going to snowball him.

Sledding on the road to our house. Hunter takes a turn while Mark chases on the 4-wheeler. If there is enough snow you can sled about a 1/4 mile on this hill. This is one of our favourite winter pastimes if we get enough snow.

The kids get pretty cold after awhile. Notice the frost on his eyelids.
