It's Deer Hunting Time

The general deer hunting opened October 10. Talk about a whole different world up here when it comes to hunting. It's s different than Utah. Up here you can still buy your tag after the hunt has opened. Where in Utah you can't, once the hunt open you can't buy your tag. The deer hunt ends on the 31st of October. Almost a whole month. I can't believe it. Where in Utah it's a couple of weekends is it. Then the Cow Elk runs in with the Deer hunt. So were going Cow Elk hunting which starts on the 25th of this month. So that means we can hunt deer and cow elk at the same time. It's also different because you can hunt in the whole state of Idaho, but you just need to make sure your not on the Indian Reservation. Also there's certain area's that are 2 point only or 4 point only. There is so much country to hunt up here. So many hiding places.
Well we headed out on the 10th up behind our house and we seen a couple. So Ryan and Bailey decided to walk down through some trees. They pushed a couple of deer out. Then I started walking down the mountain along the edge of the trees. I scared out some more deer. I noticed that one was a buck. I really didn't he a good look to see how big he was, but I knew he had horns. But before I could get my rifle up, he flipped around back in the trees he went. So I yelled at Ryan that there was a buck coming his way. The buck stopped for a little while in the tree's long enough for Ryan to tell it was a buck, he went to shoot. But that deer must of known what was going on because just as Ryan went to shoot. The buck took off up out of the tree's before Ryan could do anything. He yelled at me that he was coming my way but I was to far down the hill. He had gone up and over before I could get up there. Damn Deer anyway.
Bailey was so funny because she said that when she was in the trees that this doe come up and looked her almost straight in the eyes. She said that the deer looked scared shit less, and was saying in her mind the deer was thinking which way do I go. Bailey said she had never been that close to a deer before. Kelton was at home through all of this. He said it was to cold for him. I think the TV was calling his name. He's my couch potato. Oh well he loves to watch his football with his dad.
I'm going to try to get some deer hunting pictures sometime soon. Every time I think about it I realize I don't have my camera. I'm just being a blonde.
