Family Hunting Fun





Well, we finally got a deer all together! The kids had Thanksgiving break, Roy was off taking care of the boys and I ditched work early to all go out to "Farmer Allen's and Ms. Sue's" farm. What fun we had. The first picture is of Roy and the boys walking to the our spot, Roy was hurrying the boys along, hoping we would get there in time before dark. They trotted along good. We set Roy and Rudy up in the gully and Rory and I went to bird-dog the deer out of the willows along Canyon Ferry shore. What fun, Rory and I were discussing life and such and ran smack into a white tail buck. He turned and took off. We stopped and waited to not scare him off in the wrong direction. As we took off again, I was piggybacking Rory when I rolled my ankle and down we went, as I was trying to not let the F---- word come out, the little buck ran right up the gully as we hoped! Roy went to shoot and click, he forgot to load the bullet, so he loaded and aimed again. This time he was successful and all Rudy could say was, "What a dream come true!" All we could do was laugh. So the picture is below of the first family buck. We are happy we now have dinner in the freezer for the winter.
