Greetings in the new year. I'm sure that 2019 will bring wonderful things to you! Right now with the government shut down I'm nervous about the future. But we Americans will pull through. The wind really blew this whole week! We were lucky though because in some places in Montana it was higher than 102 mph! I say 40 mph gusts are hard enough! One saving thing, the temps were warm even the lows were in the twenties! That's amazing for this time of year! The Loring Community extends sympathy to...

It’s time for a change. Of clothes. Of behavior. Of diet. Since the first of September I’ve been hunting more days than not. Now the season is over and there are eight long months to navigate until it starts again. My wardrobe is the first to change. The old green uniform pants I’ve been wearing all season -- the ones my wife abhors – will be exchanged for jeans, my blaze orange cap for a blue one with a bobcat on it, and my shooting gloves for something warmer. I’ve taken off the whistles...
It has been a weird holiday season for our family. But not weird in a bad way. It was almost like a mini vacation for us due to the fact that we had a few days off in consecutive weeks.
