The BOYS hunt

My dad had a Deer tag for Nevada area 23 (Up by Pioche for all you who are unschooled in all the hunting lingo) So John, dad, Jordan ( my brother Gary's boy), Shane, and Connor headed up on Saturday and camped out, listened to Conference on the radio and did some pre-scouting for the opener on Mon. They had a great time shooting dad's 22 and just camping out with just the boys! Monday morning they got up super early, road the 4 wheelers out to the predetermined spot and Dad got his deer!!! OK that made it sound really easy but I wasn't there and that was about all the details I got until John started telling me about When the real work begins. Apparently the deer ended up way down at the bottom of a HUGE canyon!! John, Shane, and Jordan walked down with John to clean it and pack it out. Well they got down there and it was freezing Cold!! John lit a fire and let Shane warm up a little while he gutted it and got it ready to carry out. So needless to say John ended up caring the whole deer out by himself. I hope his back will recover!! Meanwhile back at the top of the hill Grandpa is trying desperately to warm a freezing Connor. As soon as he did Connor fell fast asleep!! Any way a good time was had by all and they were all ready to be home in their cozy beds again.










The Boys Ready for a long COLD ride!
