Connor aims and shoots.
Update from the field:

We are passing the four-month mark on the frontier. Four months living in Montana, and I think the question most asked of me by my friends and family is: "Would you have done this? Would you have applied to live on the frontier as an 1883 homesteader?" Quickly followed by: "Could you have done it? Could you survive?" I wonder ...
Last week I had my first chance to go where no production member has gone before: a sleepover on the Frontier! Karen and Mark Glenn, from our Tennessee family, had to go on an overnight journey to the store for monthly supplies, and the question arose: Could their kids, Erinn and Logan, spend a night alone on the frontier? We all felt this was not such a good idea; there have been a lot of bears in the area lately, they have a lot of livestock to care for, and it can be dangerous to keep the wood stoves burning.
