So close

This one was just outside my bow range this morning but he walked right up to where Bob was sitting. Bob's father in law got a nice 8 pointer the day before. Now it's my turn!

The best part of my trip

I want to thank Uncle Larry for helping me get my official Tribal Card. I am now not only enrolled on the Tribal Roll but I can prove that I am a Mohawk Indian. I am so excited to have gotten the opportunity to get my card.

Mohawk Art

Carved elk antler, beadwork and amazing basket weaving done by the Mohawks.

This is the bridge to Cornwall island.

Mohawk Stop Sign

On the reservation the signs are in Mohawk.

Uncle Larry and my niece Katrina

I was able to take a trip to the St Regis Mohawk Reservation through work. My family was kind enough to let me stay with them and give me a great tour of the Reservation.

There's one!

But it was just a fawn and too small to shoot.
