In early January the hunting forecast for myself looked like a general season type year. I had drawn my deer, bear, and elk tags over the last few years here in Utah and only had points for Moose. Even with general season tags, I was extremely excited as my son Dustin had just turned 12 and his career as a big game hunter was about to begin. Hunting with family and friends has always outweighed the importance of inches and width. This year would be no different.
When the Expo came around, My Dad (Wade), Brother (Cory), and I went up to the show and applied for our "normal" hunts. Not really hoping or expecting a tag. After all, Cory and I have both drawn Wasatch Expo Elk tags in the past. No way lightning could strike again right??
Well, The results were posted and there was Dad's name! He drew a Book Cliffs archery deer tag! What a stroke of luck! All the years of applying with the unsuccessful letters have turned to incredible luck for our family. We have truly been blessed. Dad hunted the Book Cliffs archery deer hunt two years ago with my Sister and they both harvested great bucks! I had the opportunity last year to harvest a nice buck out there as well. The excitement began to build as soon as we found out he had a tag in hand. Our plans for the regular draw changed as well.
