The 1st 4 days of the Deer hunt we camped outside of Eureka, Chris me and the boys scouted and hunted over 250 miles on the Ranger and saw very few deer. And the only picture I took is this one. So hopefully this picture tells the story:) just kidding.
We had to come home for 2 days for Brittney's wedding, then the next half of the trip was spent up at the Strawberry Marina, we had no idea the mountains were so gorgeous there, oh we had a really great time. At about 6am Chris and Dad would head out before sun rise for the morning hunt, then during the middle of the day we would hang out relax or fish. Then around 3 pm we would all head out for the evening hunt, around every turn we would see a Doe and 2 fawns, so much so that, that became the theme of our trip.
Finally on our 8th day of hunting they got a deer, a 4 point with eye guards, then the next night we got a big 2 by 3 point.
I have some new thoughts about the deer hunt, I love the Hunt, hate the kill. The smell of dead dear is to much to bare.
When we got home Chris and my Dad came up with this genius idea to use the commander and the 4 door wrangler ($90,000 worth of power) to skin the deer. And to top it off they had to hang in the garage for 3 days and then be cut up and packaged.
