It was a good year for me and my family as well. Here is a link to my hunting stories, from this year and past...

It prompted me to put together a book of photos on Shutterfly to commemorate it. My Dad and I try to hunt together every year.
We started off missing the opening weekend of our local deer season, so I could chase Tule Elk with a bow. Yeah, I had one of 5 draw tags for a pretty good area. Not a monster but a memorable DIY hunt.
The next weekend I helped my Dad drag out his Blacktail buck he killed in a narrow, steep canyon.
It was my oldest daughter's' first year of hunting and she shot a wild pig and a blacktail buck this year on back to back weekends.
Then we left for Wyoming for an early October hunt. The weather made it tough but after 90 miles on horseback and on foot over 5 days I shot a raghorn bull.
We went 3 for 4 out of my family group. My Brother in law killed the biggest this year.
So the Freezer is full, and I had to promise to take the kids to Disneyland to make up for my Wanderin'....
I think it is worth it though...
