| Betty and the pronghorn doe shot this year on opening day |
Our friends, Joe and Betty, love to fish and hunt. Betty is very successful. She shared a photo of her pronghorn (antelope) doe she shot on opening day this year. I found a photo of a buck she shot a few years ago. They are great photos and she said I could blog them. Here they are.
Betty is like me, she does it all. She doesn’t stop after shooting, she retrieves her game and takes care of the meat.

Jack and Joe fished the Bitterroot on Tuesday. The water was still a bit low and the weather was cool, but the fish were biting. Here is a photo of one of the fish. To see all the photos, view the slideshow below.

Jack and Joe fished the Bitterroot and Clark Fork Rivers near the confluence. They scouted for northern pike and caught some nice rainbow trout, too.

Joe Graziano fished this beautiful day with Jack on the Bitterroot River. With the very cool nights, the river is coming up, but fairly orderly and there are fish to be caught.
The forecast for next week is for 70 degree days and nights above freezing. Those ingredients make for a rising river and possible run-off conditions.
Check back to see what happens and if the fishing turns on or off. For Bitterroot weather (ten day forecast) and local USGS streamflow data click www.wapiti-waters.com/stream.htm.

Costa Rica is a trying to preserve a delicate balance between tourism and protection of natural resources. From their deserted beaches to the dry coastal and then misty inland tropical forests, more than 27% of the country’s area is protected. This attracts visitors eager to partake in the pura vida, the “pure life” of Costa Rica.
Visit these links to a travel site on
Lonely Planet.com, the
US Department of State site, or do an internet search of your own. I visited Costa Rica in the 1970’s, too long ago.
I want to go back!
Joe and Betty Graziano traveled there in January. The photos were many and amazing. I pared them down to create the slideshow below.
