The other week I pulled myself out of bed a little before 4am and drove to my baby brother’s. We loaded up his old truck, tucked our nephew in between us, stopped and got gas, coffee and donuts and drove toward the river.
But I should have gotten up earlier—or we should have skipped the donuts— because just before sunrise as we were pulling into our little spot, two red brake lights cut across the dark and flashed us. We cussed and turned around to hustle and find a new spot before the sun came up.
We were unsuccessful but sharing stories, laughs and donuts with my two favorite guys is the best part of hunting for me. It reminds me of the time I got to spend in the woods with my dad and Síleʔ. I wouldn’t trade in these memories for anything. #flatheadreservation#itsagooddaytobeindigenous#homeland
