The big Hunt!!

So here goes. Yesterday which was Friday the 23, I went christmas shopping and bought a new digital camera for my christmas present from Dave and the kids:) We left at 3:00 am to head out to Walmart. After shopping for 2 hours and the hundreds of people there we came home w/ my digtal camera and printer:) Along w/ the kid's gifts which I wont tell cause they will read this and then what is the surprize:) Anyway, I came home and played all day with my camera and printer all though I wanted to take a nap I decided I would just go to bed early. So, YAH RIGHT :D my brother Dusty and his girlfriend Jessica came over and asked if we would like to play pinochle with them. Sure, Jessica has never played so we started playing cards at about 7 pm. At about 2 am we finally finish. I have to say it was alot of fun and I think we all should do it more often. Anyway, After the long night of playing cards Dave and Dusty decided that they would go out hunting in the morning. The goal was to get up at 7 am and go up Yaak. Needless to day they left 10 minutes late (go figure them two on time what a joke). Anyway, on with the story. They went out hunting all day today which now is Saturday and said they should be home shortly after dark if not before which they didn't make it back till about 2 hours after dark which was 7:30. By then I am starting to get alittle worried not sure if something went wrong or what. I hear the dogs start barking so I tell the kids that it is just Dad and uncle Dusty they will be in in a minute. YAH RIGHT, about ten minutes later I go out side to see what they are doing not knowing what is going on. I step out the door in time to see this good size deer come racing out of the back of Dusty's truck. Holly Cow, Dave shot a deer. The biggest one he has shot since we have been together which is almost 12 year. The deer weights about 150 lb and has a nice size rack of 5x4. I am so excited for him so I took some pictures with the new camera to show everyone:) We hope you enjoy:D

Hey GOOD GOING David! That Buck looks great!! Do you not have a cell phone so Darcie can get a hold of you? Maybe you were just out of range so she couldn't get a hold of you.

Darcie, thanks for the pics! We are all going to enjoy your digital camera!!!

I even saw the goat in the background! :)
