The BIG Hunt

Kyle had been looking forward to this past weekend ever since he found out that he drew a limited entry Bookcliffs deer tag. He has put in for the bookcliffs for the past 6 years, so when we finally got the tag, he was SO excited.
The hunt started on Wednesday so we took off Tuesday afternoon and hauled our trailer the 5 hours to the middle of nowhere. When we got there we immediately started scouting out the big bucks. After a few days of not seeing something big enough to shoot, he finally found one that he liked. It was a good thing that he got his deer when he did because we had to get home to get cows off the mountain and to cut hay. It was fun being Kyle's hunting partner. I actually had fun dragging the deer up the mountain. Kyle was really excited and couldn't wait to get home to show it off. It wasn't the monster he was hoping to shoot, but I think its awesome. Way to go babe!
Kade was pretty proud of his old man
Tyce just had fun no matter what we were doing. He loved making this very stunning hat out of foam stickers.

How fun! Good Job Kyle! You are such a trooper to tag along with the kids. Matt went up on Skyline Tuesday and I just made him drop me and the kids off at my moms :) He keeps asking when I am going to hunt again and tag along with the kids- maybe next year :)
