SISTERS
Most often this word would be followed by another, but no comment today. I love my sisters, sometimes I wish I had picked a better set, but they are the best ones I've got. This year brought all sorts of bad luck between me and hunting. I have not been able to kill anything, and if I had no meat left from last year I'd have starved to death by now. My sisters, on the other hand, got a serious case of begginers luck. Just this year they decide to become real women and hunt. (my mom too). Us boys work hard to take them out and try to pretend to care about them. Opening day Ruth decides to shoot a nice buck. Actually a big buck. The biggest one any of us has shot, right near the house, perfect shot, easy pack, and the thing scores 140! I thought this was bad, then I come home the other night and Lois is standing next to another buck hanging in the barn. Thankfully this one is a little smaller, but the principle remains; she shot a nice little 4 point about 300 yards from the house, perfect shot, easy pack, lot of meat, you get the picture. It's a scary thought but I may have to rely on my sisters to feed me this year. Here I am going 120 miles into the back country to hunt Elk, and they're killing deer right in our front yard. This is positively humiliating and frankly, disgusting. Happy hunting, they say, yeah right. Their pictures are below, no drooling.

I totaly feel your pain man. I have no words. I can honestly say I don't think I ever have had beginers luck but oh well. I am glad to see somebody does. By the way you are a good writer. You put me to shame. Kyle (I will identify myself so you know I am not a freak). lol....
I am astonished. My Idaho friends are too incredible...I might just have to write a post about you all. Lois and Ruth...shooting elk!!??!? Agh!
Hate to say it, but I think I've become a bit of a city girl (although you guys said I was a city girl even when I lived in Idaho). Yeah, I never did well with the whole elk and deer hanging upside down in people's shops. Once, the Sapp boys took me to their shop after their Dad had gotten something big...I almost walked right into the ghastly sight and I screamed (loudly) of course.
P.S.
I'm glad you like your sisters. It's healthy to have at least a few of them :)
Kyle, I don't think you're a bad writer. However, if YOU think that you are a bad writer, let me tell you, there is no better way to improve than by forcing yourself to write more than ever. In other words, you should get a blog too!
Kristi, those are deer and they look so natural upside down in the barn. And, yes, you always was a city girl, oh well, it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. BTW, I think everyone should have a sister, but just for a few hours would be nice.
Kyle, I never would have guessed freak, but now I know! I never had beginers luck either, maybe its in the water. Carry on
