Every year Nate says that he is going to shoot the "
BIG ONE." He was excited for the muzzle loader hunt and had seriously been counting the weeks (maybe even months) for it to start. He went on the opener with his old roommate Dave and then the next day with yours truly. It was a good hike when we went, but we didn't get the BIG ONE this day. He then went on Saturday with his dad and said that today was the for sure day he was going to shoot one (
THE BIG ONE). But after about 14 hours for that day.......NOTHING! So he decided to go on Tuesday by himself (I can't say exactly where he went because then we would have to kill you--I guess a hunter's hunting spot is very sacred to him :) ) I called him so many times because I was worried about him being by himself and something happening to him (I tend to let my imagination run away with me). He finally called back and said, "How am I supposed to talk to you when I am stalking
THE BIG ONE?" So then he told me that he got it (if you want to hear the actual "hunting story" you can call and I am sure Nate would be happy to tell you ALL the details) and was really excited. We are now making jerky and it is actually pretty good. I was a bit skeptical, but it is good.
When he got home with the deer the boys were so excited. I had to leave for YW and told him to take some pictures. Please notice Kace's magnifying glass. I guess he wanted to look at it close up. Weird. Ty was really excited and kept saying, "deer, deer, deer, deer, deer." It was a happy day in our house!
