I want to tell you all about our third season hunt near Craig colorado starting last Saturday. We had purchased some land owner tags to hunt private property. My 38yr old son (Tyler) had arranged this hunt a year in advance, and we were looking forward to having a great time. We camped near a barn at the ranch, then Saturday morning we started to drive up the county road, my son Ty was in front on a four wheeler, and my nephew Jon with me in a Polaris Ranger. We then turned off this road onto another county road, which had to travel thru a couple of miles of public ground, before reaching the private. We were seeing numerous trucks and hunters on the outskirts of where we were driving 300 to 400 yds. We were seeing deer everywhere. My son Ty was standing up on the four wheeler, fully clothed in orange, as well as we were, when we heard a shot, it hit my boy halfway between the elbow and his wrist, I don't need to tell any of you what it looked like. In seconds we thru a belt around his bicep to stop him from bleeding to death, and headed for craig as fast as possible. The Sheriff has rounded it down to two trucks, that were dead ahead of us. My son had a gun scabbard cross wise on the front of the 4x4, the bullet had traveled thru it and then his arm. If he had been sitting down, it would have gone thru his shoulder. I know none of you know us, but could you keep him in your prayers. Many operations to reconstruct. Be careful all. Know your target and whats beyond.
