Deer Hunt 08'

This year Brett and his Dad went out hunting alone, the wifes stayed home. Well that was the plan...
I had to do Kariann's hair saturday morning (opening day) and then her wedding so I just thought I would spend the weekend in St.geroge. Boy was I ever wrong. I did my duty and the bride looked gorgeous.

Hung around for the wedding ceremony and it was so beautiful I cried, but im almost 8 months pregnant so Im allowed :) Then I decided I couldnt stand being away from my husband for 5 full days. Normally I would of been fine and I wanted to him to go Hunt and harvest a deer and have such a wonderful time, BUT my pregnancy hormones got the better of me and I decided I needed to be with him for at least the day. So I headed out to Kanab, then bright and early sunday morning went out with my brother and sister inlaw to hunt and met up with him. I loaded my big ol self in the jeep and out we went looking for the BIG buck. I think we had only been drivin maybe fifteen minutes when Brett spotted what he thought was pretty decent, out the window. He stopped hopped out grabbed his rifle and took his shot. The deer humped up and off he went after it, Bobby (his dad) jumps out the other side takes off down the road to help and I try to get in the drivers seat to move the jeep off the dirt road incase other people need thru. Mind you Im 30 weeks pregnant and climbing between seats is not that easy to do... So they went off I tried to drive up to where I thought they were, and I couldnt see them anymore so I decided I was gunna take a lil snooze till they came back. Who knows how long I was asleep but bobby came back and said lets go, drive over to where they had tracked him down and gutted him, so off we went.


Since we were in the jeep, this is how we transported the lil guy.
When we got back to camp we found out that not only did Brett kill, but so did his brother James and his uncle Bob. So there was a lot of work to be done, 3 deer to skin and hang haha.. that sounds so morbid.



After all the work we had a wonderful dinner sat around the fire and enjoy ourselves.
I spent the night out there and I honestly slept better in the trailer than I had the past two nights so that was great. Monday afternoon I headed back to town and then back to cedar. Brett stayed out till Tuesday night , but I at least got to spend two days with him so I was alot better and wasnt having withdrawls. We had a sucsessful hunt but boy am I glad hunting season is all over with now its a count down till the baby gets here.
