Hunting Season so far...

So as I sit here and wait for my group of mighty hunters to come home. (Forrest, Rashelle, Zane, Talon and friends) I decided I would post the pics of the dead animals so far. Forrest shot a nice 5x6 bull on his birthday. This is his second "birthday bull" and I was happy to get a text 15 mins after getting to work that one was down and my freezer would again have meat in it. It has been a couple lean years lately and the freezers were getting empty. The grizzly bears and wolves have been making it harder to get elk since they are afraid to "talk" because the wolves will find them. Then the week after my best friend Rashelle shot the big huge bear we call Brutus she has been trying to shoot that bear for almost three years he is old smart and big because of it. This was a big victory for her and she has wanted him for a long time and she finally got him. So enjoy the pics and hopefully we will have more pics of other dead things soon!

Granola Bars

For all those who have been asking I think I figured out the recipe to my granola bars so here it is:
Toast 5 cups of oats at 325 for 15 min once done let cool for a few minutes then add 4 cups of trail mix in a large bowl.
On the stove bring to a boil 2 cups of Karo syrup 1/2 cup peanut butter and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Once boiling pour over oat mixture and stir till well coated place into well greased 9x13 pan press down till compact.
Cook for 15 min at 325. I usually cut while warm and then let sit overnight before packaging.
