WE GOT OUR DEER

Well we got our deer on Monday the 13th. I had to show you a picture of this moose. He scared the crap out of me. It was monday morning on the 13th, and I had to take the kids to school. So I though on the way back I would go another way home. I was looking for deer on the way home. When I came around the bend and there he was climbing the hill. Good thing I was in the car. I just happened to have my camera so I took some pictures. At that time I didn't care if I saw a deer or not. Because I was in aw of just watching this majestic animal. I think they are just beautiful. I had my dog with me. She saw the moose and went bannana's. She was barking and growling at him. I watched him until I couldn't watch him no more. Then me and Fancy came home. Until I decided to go out later. Later that day Ryan and I decided to go out. He asked me to go and brush through some trees, and meet him on top of the ridge while he was watching. So I started to go down through the tree's of course being a little scared. Considering we have to watch out for cougar's where we live. So I walked a little ways stopped, looked around making sure I wasn't getting stalked by a cougar. When I finally made over to Ryan we just sat down and waited. It was getting late it was perfect timing. Because the deer started to come out. We heard some rustling down below us, so Ryan said to be ready for anything. Next thing here comes some doe, and more doe. Then out come these two bucks. Ryan shot first the deer didn't know what hit him. His was walking away from him so he hit him in the back of the head. Mine was standing broadside I hit him right in the lungs. So here we are on the mountain with two deer to clean out and it's starting to get dark. I'm trying to hurry and get them tagged. Ryan is trying to hurry and get them cleaned out. He said to me we need to hurry before the cougars smell the fresh blood. So then I go into panic mode. Because it's getting dark, fresh killed animals, and there COUGARS. I was kind of freaked out. We started down the hill pulling our deer. Of course I'm not much help pulling the deer. We realized we have a long way to pull them. Ryan had said that he had seen our neighbors earlier coming up the mountain. So I'm thinking to myself boy it would be nice to have some help. Before I knew it here comes our neighbors bee bopin down the mountain. We asked them if they could help up us. THANK HEAVENS FOR THEM. We would probably been up there till midnight. We got them home washed out and hung. We had to hang in the tree funny. Due to the fact that we have dogs and other wild animals around. Here are some pictures of them.
