From: Rut Nut
26-Sep-19
Thanks! We’re trying.....................
Man that old doe was smart! The fawn stopped and looked back for 5-6 min and thought momma would eventually come in. But she only came to 45 y then turned and circled the other way. Didn’t spook, but apparently knew something wasn’t quite right! : (

We have 2 on the board! This one almost got by me into the thick stuff. It was a very quick shot! (sorry for the graphic pic, but it took awhile to find her and then wanted to get her back to camp and in the cooler due to the warm temps! So that was the only pic I had time for)

Well I'm on my way home from Colarodo. Came close, had a 4x4 at 20yds , but there was a 6x6 we were working 80yds off. Worked him 2.5 hours till we could not see our pins. He had about a dozen cows.

Thanks Ed- will do!
Well, I had a little “incident” last night and so I played “guide” this morning and set up Dan, Victoria and Curtis/son up in their spots on the property, since I had them marked on my GPS. Dan and Victoria are in climbers and Curtis/son on ground.
I was in no condition to hunt(more on that later) so I went back to camp after getting them set up.
From: Rut Nut

I had a group of deer walk about 45 yards up the hill from my stand last night. So this morning I decided to move up the hill.
You know what happened. This morning I had 3 deer walk about 40 yards down the hill from my stand...

Good thing we have the BIG TENTS! A thunderstorm rolled in just before dinner. You might be able to see the rainwater pouring thru between the tents- hence the gap in the line.
From: Rut Nut

Just got pics of Victoria and her deer. Also found out it was her first ARCHERY deer- CONGRATS Victoria! That makes 2 “firsts” this year.
From: Rut Nut
29-Sep-19
One of the great things about this event every year is the TEAMWORK! Somebody needs help tracking, dragging or field dressing a deer they call us and we figure out who is hunting nearby. Then whoever is closest will go to help. If nobody is hunting nearby we round up a group from camp and head out- like last night.

Always fun being in camp and meeting some new people. Thanks for everyone who helped to make this hunt possible. It was a great experience to introduce my son, Dalton, to what hunting is about. Helping landowners, hungry folks, fellow hunters, and having fun in the process. We weren’t on the road for 5 minutes and he was already talking about coming back next year.
