manitoba winter fun asessippi ski area
Tobaggans, tubes,  round saucers, hot choc, marshmallows, hot dogs, cold fingers, a Steep hill and a fire. Boxing day at Bergs happens again with many friends, cousins young and old, Usually the Yamaha bravo pulls us up the hill, and hauls the goodies to the fire and hauls us back to the house but while on the hill we have a great time. Everyone goes down the hill atleast once. We were worried there would not be enough snow but on Xmas eve we got a over 6 inches making conditions great.

DArrold Stefan elk in Colorado

Darrold left bear camp Sept 5 pumped to harvest an elk with his bow he had been scouting all summer in Colorado. After many attempts second last day of the season  he took this bull scoring 356 with his Rifle. And this was the small one, I am sure not many would pass on this one. Way to go Darrold.

Duck hunting in California

Jack and Kaitlyn Randall here bag a few ducks with their Dad Randy. Randy sent me a couple other photos and you can see why Jason F. would be an influence on Jack and Kaitlyn . I cannot imagine how many shells these 2 use up in an afternoon in the field. Way to go kids.
