With just a couple more weeks left in 2009, it's time for a look back.
I have taken such pride in watching my son grow into a competent outdoorsman.
Seems like just yesterday he was learning to walk.
Here are some highlights from the 2009 season.
Always time to wet a line somewhere...
July brought warm weather and archery Blacktail hunting...
It took the entire archery season, but the kid put down this sweet 4x4 on the last day.
September brought on the pre rut.
A cool foggy morning was the wrong day for this four point to be out in the open.
Put a lot of mountain miles on the boots this year...
October came and the anxiously awaited Wyoming trip finally arrived.
Conditions were tough.
Hunting pressure and weather moved the deer & antelope down to private ground.
Still. we enjoyed the beautiful country.
On the third day Thomas settled his crosshairs on a decent 4x4 Muley.
We moved down to antelope country,walked a lot of miles and after a few close encounters.....
Seemed the buzztails where everywhere this year...
We found a couple of bucks.
There were very few left on the public ground this year.
We rounded the season off last week with a bear hunt north of where we live.
Thomas put the smackdown on a nice 6 1/2 footer.
The kid's got no quit in him....
Took this thanksgiving bird with his bow...
Had a great day in the hills yesterday.
Great calling & great shooting.
A triple on Yotes!
Forgot my damn camera, had to take pics when we got home.
Actually the highlight of yesterday's trip was finding the sheds of two fantastic Blacktails.
The hit list for next year looks very promising!
I took a small antelope in Wyoming & a 3x3 Blacktail at home this year.
I had all the excitement I needed just having been out there with my kid, together we have shared the best days of my life.
Thomas had his 17th birthday this month & it kind of saddens me to think that my little boy is grown up.
To you dads out there, savor every minute of your days afield with your kids, they grow up way too fast.
Best to all of you....
