The Hunt is over...

This last week (almost - 5 days) George took time off for
{THE HUNT}
With Bow,arrows and the rest of the 'gear' in tow
we headed to Elmo, Utah on Thursday night.

George spent the morning sighting in his bow,
so that when the time came he could make 'the shot'!
Then for the rest of the day he hung out with
Mikie, James, Maria & I.

{THE HUNT} - DAY 1

5 AM - George & Pete wake up and get ready
to head up Huntington Canyon.
7 AM - Start 'The glorified Hike'
(Maria's nick name for the days events!)
See a Buck and a few Doe in the morning hours
No shot available
3 PM - Meet up with Mikie, James, Shane,
Thomas, Maria & I for a quick sandwich.
3:40 pm - Head back up to take the
first 3 mentioned boys for a 'hike'
5 PM - Meet back up with us and head down the Mountain

{THE HUNT} - DAY 2

5 AM - George & Pete wake up and get ready
to head up Huntington Canyon.
7 AM - Stop at the top of the canyon and hop out
to scout around for a few minutes.
7:30 AM - The Spot was made!
Hike around to get a shot!
7:45 AM - Take the Shot
Hike down to see if it was a hit!
Definite Hit!
8 AM {THE CALL}
ring, ring... We won't be making it back for church...

Now for the hard part -
getting the deer back UP to the truck!
{BIG SHOUT OUT} to the sheep herders
for loaning the guys a horse!

2 PM Back home in Elmo...
Grab a quick bite at the Family BBQ that
everyone is at and then after the help
of Peggy making a few phone calls,
head Back to Huntington to drop
the deer off for processing.

The smell of Sweet Success for George,
is a bit nauseating to me!
Thankfully we decided to have someone else
do the processing this year, and we borrowed
Pete's Echo for the drive home.
(The inside of George's truck
was still a bit stinky
Monday afternoon,
when we left for HoMe!!!

Thanks Pete, Maria & Gang for a Great Weekend!!!
We Love you!



This is the face of a HaPpY Man!!!
