Hunting Season is Upon Us

Rick is having a great hunting season. He drew a once in a lifetime mountain goat tag, archery deer, and archery elk tag. He accompanied friends on their guided Bull Elk hunts, his brother's antelope hunt, and a first timer ATF buddy on a deer hunt. This has meant a lot of time away, and I have to say- when it comes to the amount of complaining, I think this is my best hunting season ever too! I've stayed busy, called friends, shopped, and tried to keep the complaints to a minimum.
The man who stared at goats

The man who killed a record book Pope and Young goat.

Soon the official measurement will be in, and we will know where he will be placed in the Pope and Young Record Book. Rick's once in a lifetime goat hunt turned out great for him.

One of the bulls from the Guided Elk Hunt. I especially liked this hunt because they had all the wives up for a dinner at a beautiful cabin the last night- good grub!
Rick's archery deer hunt this year. I liked that this hunt started and ended in one day- Opening Day find.
Bridge's muzzleloader deer this year. What good buds to pack each other's deer out. I love the fall colors in this one.

This is his Hooded Merganzor from last season, finally back from the taxidermist. He's excited to put it on his new desk that's coming soon. (Story of the free desk coming later..)

  3. Cade is jealous and wishes he knew where Rick hunted these beasts, but we figure Rick has rules against that! Glad you kept your complaining to a minimum! Sorry we didn't stop by when we were at Lagoon! Hope you are enjoying your new school and kindergarten!
