• Notes

  Grandpa always had a soft heart when it came to his horses. He hesitat e d to cinch the saddle up too tight because he didn't want to hurt them . O ne day when I was about 5, he put me on a horse, and I had only ridde n ha lf a block when the saddle slipped to the side of the horse's belly . I wa s riding like an Indian at war! Dad came running and rescued me be for e I could fall to the ground. When Grandpa Nephi Beckstrand went deer hunting back in the 1920’s it w a s an adventure as well as a pioneer like test of stamina. The friday before o p ening day he, and my dad and his brother Austin would begin packing up the hay wagon wit h b ottled venison jars of fruit and bedding. The bedding consisted of camp quilts made by my gr a ndma from Levi coveralls sewn together on an old treadle type sewing machine with som e b atting in between. My grandma said the quilts were cold as ice when he crawled under them f r ozen solid by morning. The last thing he put into the wagon was his rifle an old rus t y 30-40 Craig with a missing rear sight. After the packing done they would hitch up the tea m o f horses (Babe & Maud) and head out for the mouth of Dry Creek Canyon. After arriving th e y set up an old army tent that smelled like an old musty canvas. After an hour or two of swap p ing stories with the other hunters in camp, they would turn in around 11:00 P.M. In order to get to the top of the mountain on horseback by daylight th e y would have to be up and riding by 3:00 A.M. In spite of his broken down rifle, grandpa w a s always able to harvest a nice buck. After field dressing the deer, they headed back do w n the mountain, broke camp, and arrived back home in Meadow, Utah well after dark. In spit e o f this seemingly strenuous ordeal, my grandpa loved hunting and being in the mountains a n d took me often when I was young.
