When I found out what tag I had drawn I had high hopes but never expected it to turn out like it did. But it was fun and spent good time with good people. The first day I was solo and had help on the way well kinda my friend Mike came to help glass. First day I had glassed up 9 doe that night Mike and I set up camp and first light had us picking up multiple doe and fawn that afternoon Mike found 5 bucks at 946 yards just before dark. We made a few different plans for the morning.
As the sun came up we started to find deer but not the bucks from the night before but we did find a buck but I decided not to go after him because it was a small 2x2. We glassed for the next few days in the morning and then trying to fill our crane tags in the afternoon with no success. Mike went home and I did the same do to getting a second job and had a few things to do for it. Well that was all done by 10 am and I was back in the hills. Within 10 min I had a buck glassed up and he gave me the slip. The next day me and my dad go out (at 68 I am glad he still gets out and hunts his butt off) it starts to snow on us and not 2 days ago we had t shirts on
We manage to get him on a buck and it just didn't work out. I get home and I happen to read 1uglydude post and that made me think and lead me to ask my kids if they would like to go camping I only get them on the weekends and they where over the moon excited to go so I spent Sat and Sun with them in the field enjoying the time we have on this earth together
Did I kill a deer no did I enjoy my time with friends and family yes was I successfull I say yes in 10 days we glassed up close to 100 deer and about 10 where bucks I wouldn't never change my time with my kids for anything in the world thank God we all are happy and healthy and pray for those who may not be.
