Deer Hunt Season 2008

I haven't mentioned much about my hubby on this blog and he has been feeling pretty bad. He won't admit it but he hints around all the time that I never mention him. So yes, he really does exist.




I thought I would post a few pics of the deer hunt season that just passed. (I am secretly very glad that it has passed!) Nate goes on the bow hunt every year to the La Sal mountains which is just about 30 minutes away from Moab. He has been going to the same place since he was young and over the years he has made some out of state friends that travel here every year just to hunt mule deer. Hunting is Nate's passion especially bow hunting! He talks about all year long and once it starts getting closer and closer it is like Christmas around our house, for him anyway! The bow hunt was unsuccessful for Nate (thank goodness as I don't need another one of those things hanging on my wall!) but he still wouldn't have missed it for the world, deer or no deer!



This year Nate was extra excited for the hunting season because he got to go on the bow hunt as well as the muzzle loader with my Dad. My Dad drew out on a hunt down south in the Panguitch area. They were both pretty excited for this. This hunting trip was with my family that also drew out in the same area so they stayed at the cabin on Panguitch Lake. My Dad WAS successful on his hunt!!! I was excited too because now my Mom will now know what I go through having these things on my walls! I understand that these are their "trophy's" but come one.... dead deer on my walls?! As Nate always says it was part of the deal when we said "I do"!

Here are a few pics from their hunts- I do have to admit that my hubby does look pretty cute in that camo!Aunt Marilyn & Shaun (thought it was a cute pic)
