The Hunt is the Hunt

Camp Breakdown



Hunting 2006

Pete and Sheldon my hunting buddies headed up to the hunt the day before I was set to arrive. By mid day I received a call from Pete that his rig had blasted a locker (Thanks 4-wheel parts for you usual crappy install). They borrowed my Jeep and all was ok.

Saturday morning we got a late start to the morning hunt, but after hunting all morning we did not see a single deer. I think this will probably be the last hunt for Highway 4 for a long time. Its been three years no Deer, time to move on. Pete and I decided to take a walk around the place we camped last year. What a beautiful site. I sat by a creek, listening to birds sing and squirrels run around, but no deer. By 10 we headed back to camp for some good grup. Pete made some very yummy breakfast burritos. Off for the afternoon hunt we headed. We found a great spot to hunt in a clearing with lots of Oaks, and acorns all over the ground. Still No Deer! (see a pattern).

By evening the wind was gathering and blowing in our faces I stood on a hill side with Pete, the wind blowing in our face overlooking a beautiful clearing. Still No Deer.

Sunday was more of the same, good conversation with good friends, but Still No Deer.

This years hunt was not about seeing deer, its more about being with Friends and enjoying ourselves. Next year it will be more about Deer.

Remember always the Hunt is the Hunt!!!!!!! Deer or Not.
