Garrison or Garr-a-helll

We went over to Garrison, UT for the start of the doe hunt. For those of you who don't know Garrison is a border town it borders with Baker, NV. It is a very small farming community same with Baker. There is nothing out there at all. We drew deer tags over there this year the last time we drew tags for that area was when I was pregnant with Patton (I think). Anyways the last time we drew tags we left early in the morning and got over there just as the sun was coming up. We filled all three tags that we had in just a couple of hours and was back on the rode home by lunch time. So we were hoping for the same luck as last time except we decided we would stay the night so it would be a little easier on the kids. We left here on Friday night opening day of the hunt. We got to Garrison with daylight left to spare. When we got to where we were going to set up the tent to stay the night there was a doe standing by the water. I thought to myself maybe we will have just as much luck as we had the last time we were here. Ben didn't want to stop to shoot that doe so we drove into town. It is a little tricky hunting this area because most of the fields have private property signs and no trespassing signs. And of course we all know how deer love corn and hay! So we drove through town to the north side and turned to drive by the fields to see what we could see or stumble upon. Well we seen plenty but of course not any we could shoot because of the signs. So we decided to keep driving hoping luck would change. Well little to my dismay we stumble upon one just one all by herself. I got out of the truck to try to take the shot but she was running and I couldn't get a good enough shot. Ben decided that he would take the shot and hit her. She was hurt but not going down so he took a couple of more shots before she fell. We got her gutted and loaded in the truck by this time it was getting dark so we decided to set up camp so we drove back to the lake we were staying at. We got the tent set up, dinner cooked and fishing poles in the water. We slept really good considering we were sleeping in a tent and not our trailer.
We got up the next day hoping to fill the last tag mine of course. Taking care of things at camp before we got the kids up to get ready to go. We left camp trying to find a doe just one that was all I was asking for. Right when you get into town there it a circle of field corn with signs of course. But a whole lot of deer I told Ben if they cross the fence I would shoot. And boy did I get lucky they crossed the fence. I shot and she fell like a ton of bricks. We got her taken care of and headed back to camp to pack up and head home. Yes a very short trip but lots of fun. We had to get back for a family get together with Ben's family. We only caught one fish and we ended up letting it go. Addilee wouldn't have anything to do with the fish as long as it was out of the water. Patton and her both pestered it while we had it caught though. I got a few pictures as you can see. It was a very short trip but we enjoyed ourselves and so did the kids.
