November in Iowa

tippit · December 10, 2010, 10:38:00 AM

I'm a little late in posting on my Iowa hunt as I just returned from France visiting our son. He is an exchange ski patroller from Crested Butte, CO with Courchevel, France. Right after returning from Iowa, my wife & I flew his dog over as she is a certified avalanche search & rescue dog.

To say I've been busy the month of November is an understatement. On our last day in France, Molly fell skiing and broke her arm & leg. Getting back to the states and having her seen at Mass General Hospital in Boston has been an ordeal. Finally things are starting to settle in.

I'll just post a picture of my Iowa buck and get to the story later...Doc

Now that's a beauty, probably overshadowed by the bad breaks but let's hope there was a silver lining to this story.
