Parting shot as we pull out of Jake's driveway - five more deer for the freezer.

[Yes, I realize that some of you are probably completely grossed out by this - "Good grief, what's he doing putting pictures of DEAD animals up on his blog. Sheesh!" - well, sorry, but this is who we are, and it's something we do as a family, and its something our extended family is into as well (as are a lot of people in this state). So sorry, but if it bugs you you'll just have to get over it or go read some other blog instead. Until then, everyone in the Cryder family will continue to be ardent supporters of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals).]

And that's pretty much it. (Well, actually, we DID go elk hunting on Friday, but I'll save that for a separate post, since it's quite a story in itself, and I didn't take any pictures of it). We hopped in the car and headed back up to Missoula, with a lot of game in tow and a lot of good memories from another eventful Thanksgiving with family...
