Deer Hunt 2008

It is that time of year again...when you can't seem to wipe the smiles off my boys faces!! Deer Hunting Season!! This year was particularly exciting as ALL three boys would be joining in the fun!
For the opening weekend Jug, Reed, & Cole met up with the Flinder' Boys and hunted in American Fork Canyon. It was a great time...but with no luck on the hunting side of things.
The following week Jug and Reed went with Chad and Austin Atkinson out to the "Deep Creeks". This is where they had a Father/Son combined effort in bagging this sweet 2 point buck!!
I think it's safe to say, that Reed was pretty excited about the whole event seeing as how he hasn't stopped grinning, and Jug was very glad to share this experience with his son!!
Here's the story....first hand! (A special thanks to Atkinson Photography!!)

Congratulations, Reed! That's a terrific first buck and I agree with Chad, you need to make sure you tell everyone that your dad missed and you got him... :)

Too bad the horns have to go up in Cole's room - I'm sure he'll let you come visit anytime.

Great job!!

This is awesome! What an exciting weekend for you. That is some good looking horns, and a great story to back it up. Your dad better not go hunting without you anymore.

p.s. I love the way your horns frame the Y
