dads idaho whitey
« on: December 23, 2008, 12:14:14 PM »
My folks have a place in north central idaho I usually make it over there every year to deer hunt with my dad.  two years ago he was diagnosed with cancer.  He was to sick to hunt last year, he is now cancer free and doing much better.  WE went over nov. 12 to 20 I brought along the wife and son and had a great time despite warm weather and tough hunting conditions.  Even though my dad has killed over 70 deer in his life this one was special because I really thought he would not even be around for this hunting season. I thank God my wife and I were able to be there with him that day.
