The Elusive Golden Bear

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Ammo

When I took a trip over the weekend to visit the flea markets in Kutztown, Pa – I didn’t just end my adventure with pillaging for buried treasures. No, there was another reason to travel north – to hunt for the elusive Golden Bear.

See Mom and Dad both attended Kutztown University, home of the Golden Bear – a magical creature I’m sure, and I was dead set on finding said bear.

But before I could head to campus in search of my Golden Bear I took a trip downtown where I took a nap on the sidewalk as mom and dad ate lunch. I must say, I attracted quite a few college students with my stunning good looks, but that was to be expected.

After lunch I made my way to campus where I began my search for the golden bear.

I searched high and low for my bear.

I really thought my bear would be in the school fountain too – on account of how hot it was – but sadly no bear here.

Then just when I was about to declare the golden bear as truly elusive – he decided to sneak up behind me.

Oh Golden Bear, you’re just as glorious as I expected.

Sweet Hole-digging Heaven!

Oh sweet glorious day! You’ll never guess what showed up on the farm!

You are gonna pee your pants in excitement, just like I did!

It’s a backhoe!! As in, ground hogs watch out, I’ve hit the hole-digging jackpot.

I’m totally serious when I say this (just look at my face), this is like the greatest day ever!

Only one problem, I can’t find the keys.

I asked mom for the keys, but she said that I wasn’t allowed to operate heavy machinery without my helmet – not to mention that the backhoe was for building Trooper’s new house, not for digging groundhog hunting holes. I tried to reason with her that Trooper would be thankful I used the backhoe to rid his future home-site of those pesky critters, but it was no use.

So it’s off to plan B. Does anyone know how to hot wire a backhoe?

Quiet Days on the Farm

Posted on August 7, 2012 by Ammo

Life on my family horse farm can be quite peaceful. I enjoy spending a lot of my time around the ponies – just quietly soaking in all the sounds and smells of the farm.

Yes – it CAN BE quite peaceful. But other days, there are groundhogs to hunt!

On these days, peaceful and quiet is not an option, as I’m sure you understand!

For the Love of the Hunt

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Ammo

Did you ever just love something so much that it didn’t matter how ridiculous or how embarrassing it made you look – you loved it just the same? Sometimes it just doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks – you just gotta be you!

Me, I’m overly enthusiastic when it comes to hunting my groundhogs on the farm – something that nobody seems to understand, not even my best friend Trooper.

At the end of the day though, hunting groundhogs is what I love to do – no matter how silly I look doing it! So go ahead, be you today!

Deer Hunter

See that look on my face, that’s the look of a tough as nails ~~bounty~~ deer hunter.

A few days ago there was an intrusion in my backyard, and although I may not “shoot to kill”, I still pack a lot of Ammo.

And by Ammo I mean lungs of steel! That deer didn’t stand a chance.

I definitely showed that deer who’s boss!

And afterwards I had a little swagger to my step. Ok, well maybe it was more of a hop & skip – but you get the idea.

Cutting down the Tree

Posted on December 6, 2011 by Ammo

Over the weekend I got to pick out my Christmas tree with my family. We decided to go back to the Tri-color Christmas Tree Farm just like last year so that we could cut down our own tree. (you know, the do-it-yourself method).

It’s very important to pick a special tree, after all you want it to look enticing for Santa to leave a whole bunch of presents under on Christmas Eve.

I narrowed my search down to a few promising trees, but ultimately decided on this glorious fella….

Santa would be proud! But, if you are wondering where the picture is of me sawing down my tree pick this year, sadly I must disappoint. See, after I chose my tree I got a bit sidetracked….

…really I was just checking to see if the groundhogs needed any help cutting down their Christmas tree.

I did eventually emerge from my underground adventure to help dad carry the tree to the car.

And I happily shared the back seat with my pretty little Christmas tree all the way home.

Here’s a happy little video of Holiday Tree Hunting Adventure:

I can’t wait to get all of my ornaments on it and decorate it super pretty for Santa! Make sure you check back tomorrow so I can tell you all about my visit to see Santa!
