Deer Hunting at the Ranch house

Gavin invited us out to the Ranch house to Dear hunt this year. I was not to into the hunt this year but with to nephews like Landon and Preston it wasn't long before I was excited about camping out.



6AM getting ready and working out a plan for the dang rain opening morning.



The Ranch house was nice, warm and dry after a night of rain.




Preston wanted to take my picture before we left.



A view out the back of the Ranch house, low clouds and rain keep us ( The Bowler's ) close to the fire Sat morning




The Frei's where determined to get a monster hike in, so Lex took them down to the trail head, in the rain....




We stayed in the ranch house with the Preston and Landon, shooting the bee bee gun at cans , tell we ran out of bee bee's





Preston getting warm as we dry out his shoes, for the 3red time that day...

A look at the rest of the Frei camp

Saturday night the stories got a little deep around the camp fire..some I am sure will never be repeated :)

Sunday morning Preston was showing us he was ready to go get the big one!

Headed out to make a push Sunday morning.

Looking out in the head of Slaughter creek. Wow there is a lot of country out there...

Gavin took us to a great valley, if I was a deer I would live there...but someone didn't tell the deer that...

This photo is a close up of the one above. If you look close you can see Lex and Preston making the hike back to Grandpa in the ranger.

(Preston said that it was 8 miles that we hiked, and next time he will take Grandpa up on the ride to the bottom)

Like I said absolutely gorgeous!

The colors in the canyon were awesome..

Had a great time, didn't shoot the big one, we did see some small bucks but not big enough to drag off the mountain...maybe net year...Thanks Gavin...
