Ben's deer....




If you can't tell Aspen was scared to death in this picture.



Ben was pretty happy when it was all said and done. Great Job Babe!!



This is the only way Aspen would set by the deer for a picture was on grandpas lap.
Thank you grandpa!


Well Ben had a dedicated hunter tag which means that he can hunt all three hunts. He decided to go out for the muzzle loader just to see if he could see anything worth shooting. We went out on friday morning but he didn't see anything so we went out on friday night and didn't see anything. So of course we went out again on saturday morning and then again on saturday night. Well low and behold he was patient enough to wait around with noisy kids and all. We ran into this buck and couldn't pass him up. When we got all the kids out of the jeep to go see the deer once he was dead. Addilee and Patton were so excited but Aspen was freaked out. She was so scared and screamed every time she was near it. One strange thing about this deer was it was still in the velvet he had tried to rub a little off but most of it was still attached. He ended up being a 4X5 with a 22 inch spread. Nothing huge but glad we didn't pass him up. Now just hopefully I will be able to fill my rifle tag with something worth bragging about lol. I am excited for the hunt to come up and am keeping my fingers crossed.
