A few Saturdays ago it was the opening day of the Deer Hunt. This year Tanner had a deer tag for the very first time. He was pretty excited to go. Per tradition Landon and Tanner road up to the top of the mountains. Landon's brothers Trevor and Layne, a couple of Layne's kids, Jack, and a few of Layne's friends went as well.
Bryce was in heaven when we dropped them off at the trail head and he got to spend some time riding the horses.
This picture was taken right before Landon handed him off to me-he immediately started crying and continued to do so most of the way back to Grandma's house. Maybe in a few years he will be big enough to go.
Here are the mighty hunters!!!
Unfortunately the few days they spent on the mountains didn't end up with Tanner getting a deer. Saturday afternoon we decided to take him out on a little road hunt. By the time we pulled out we had 7 kids along with Landon and I piled into Landon's truck. It was an interesting ride. When we go to where we wanted to hunt we had Tanner get in the back so if we saw anything at least he would be able to shoot at it. We saw several does and then right before our eyes materialized a buck (2 point). We were all in the car yelling shoot it Tanner!! He was in the back having gun problems-he was trying to jack a bullet into the chamber, but in his excitement forgot there was already one in there so he kind of jammed it. By the time he figured it our the little buck had fled the scene. Tanner was disappointed, but at least the other kids were excited that they saw one.
The next weekend Tanner was able to ride back up to Fillmore with my Uncle Brad. Then he went hunting for a few days with Uncle Cody and Aunt Mandy. However, they didn't have any luck either as they only saw does each time they went out.
Tanner had fun though and is already looking forward to next year.
