LAST EDITED ON Nov-13-09 AT 11:46PM (MST)[p]This year I decided to take my girls with me on opening day. They are ages 4 and 7 so I knew I would have to keep our hike a short one. My son, age 9, decided to go with his uncle and cousins because he said the girls would be to loud and we wouldn't see any deer. Boy was he wrong. We left the truck at daylight and hiked up a canyon to a rock pile where we could see a good burn. We were also near a trail that a good buck had been using between the water and his bed. A few minutes after sitting down on our rock and getting the girls to settle down the old buck came sneaking down the trail right to us. I whispered to the girls to cover their ears cause daddy was going to shoot. At the shot the buck went right down hard so we started to head over to him. He jumped up and I had to put two more shots into him before he expired. When we got over to the buck the girls were so excited! It is my best buck ever and one of the best hunts I have ever experienced. Having my girls along was an unbelievable thrill. When we got to the buck we could hear some people walking nearby. It was my son and brother and nephews who had pushed the buck to us. It worked out that all my kids were in on this one. I am very blessed to have had such a memorable deer hunt in 2009. p.s. can't figure out how to upload photos. need help please.
