The Deer Hunt! ( pics to come!)

This is the deer I was wanted to see this year!! I was all ready to shoot A Big Buck! Most years we leave our kids home on the opening weekend of the deer hunt. This year there was no one to leave our kids with, Marks parents had plans to go hunting and Kims mom had a total Hip replacement and was not up to watching kids all weekend! So we asked Kims sweet niece Mariah to go camping with us and watch the kids while we went hunting! This year we drew northern tags~ we really wanted Central tags so we didn't have to go far, but that was not our luck!

We put in with our friends to hunt together so we all loaded up the campers and went hunting! It was Rob, Leslie, Chanse, Rock, Coleman, Kayden. Oh and us Mark, Kim, Jordan, Tanner and Mariah! We got up on the mountain Friday afternoon and set up camp! Then we went looking for a good spot to hunt in the morning! Well we found what looked to be a great spot, So at 5:00 am we got up and set out to find a Buck. Well after much hunting all we found was more hunters and no deer. Later that day Mark, Leslie, Rob, Coleman went on a hike to see if they could see a deer and the one they did see... Mark Couldn't shoot because the sun was in his scope and he didn't want to shoot. About the time he decided to shoot anyways he heard a another hunter shoot and the deer was gone. This is how the restof the weekend went. we saw a doe or two but no bucks! It was very disappointing to not see anything. Maybe next year we will see something~ I don't feel too bad Noeof our friends got a Deer this year~ They must be hiding out!
