Sometimes the journey outshines the destination! Outstanding! Sunrise and sunset are my favorite times of day.

Beautiful!
Hope you do well bear hunting, we haven't had much luck this spring. Miss K wants a bear bad so i am trying to make it happen for her, we're hoping to go into the Beartooth after it opens on the 15th. Right now we are getting ready to go hit the Sun River game range for horns when it opens Wednesday, this will be our sixth year in a row of being there for the opener.

Good morning
You cannot imagine how I would like to be able to sit somehwere watching a sunrine while hunting. I hope you never have to live in a country where there is little to hunt. I am not complaining.. Just hungry to be in some trees again.

A sunrise like that is truly a beautiful example of God's creation. Makes the whole day worthwhile. GW

Beautiful picture. You are truly lucky. I've been Elk hunting 1 time in Montana north of Helena. Loved the people and the country. You are indeed blessed.

That's some beautiful country! Good luck on the bear!

Our great sunrise season is about over for the season, but our spring bear season last from jan 1st to jan 1st, but they are just now starting to wake up and get around.

Today was a .54 flint lock. I put a new scope on the .358, and haven't sighted it in again.

Waksupi, looks similar to where I woke up this am. Had to take the wife and her mother out hunting for those mushroom things, morels. We decided yesterday just to "load up" and go for the night and then 'shroom huntin' today. Nice party around the fire last night, and a very good time today. We got up high enough to find snow and tore it up a little with the four=wheelers, found about a gallon of the morels and had a great day. JW

Nice picture.

During the Korean war the Chinese were preparing for a night attack. A US Army lieutenant was visiting foxholes to make sure everyone was prepared. In one foxhole was a terrified private and when the lieutenant asked if he needed anything the private said he needed to see the sunrise. The private died before dawn. The lieutenant became a general and made it a habit to rise early and watch the sunrise as often as possible as a tribute to that private. I never met the general, but a met an officer who had been his aide. Don't know if the story the aide told me is true, but I do know the aide had taken up the habit of watching the sunrise.

Lovely sunrise Waksupi, wish I had been there.

I had to stare long and hard, with the exception of a few trees we don't have... it sure looks like a place i have been once or twice up here...

Glad to see you found a little bit of paradise.
I sigh with envy !

Everyday is a good day, when you start it out, on God's front porch.

I had a similar experience hunting ducks along the sloughs of the Sacramento River a few years ago. I missed an entire flock of teal, but bagged a sunrise.

Went looking for mushrooms on state land a mile and a half north of me yesterday there is a large beaver pond there this winter someone trapped the beavers out and pond was nearly empty from washouts in the dam. Large clams were crushed everywhere i am wondering how the clams got crushed then saw the bear tracks 5" wide like the one visiting here. The rear feet were 8-9 inches long but this bear did not walk in it's own tracks at all would a bear just do that around a house or could this be a different animal? Mushrooms are not up yet here in this part of Michigan.
