Once in a lifetime hunt

There were so many deer that we saw that had broken horns! But they were still nice size bucks

The Henry Mountains has the best deer in Utah. There are so many nice bucks I would have shot if I had a tag to hunt there.

After spending 9 days in a tent in December, and lots of long days, hiking like crazy, a few tears, and almost giving up, we FINALY got a buffalo. By that time everyone that had come with us had gone home and it was just Jeron me and the kids left. We had taken the 4-wheelers up to the top of a mountain to a cell tower. When we turned around to go down there they were. They had been hiding up top where you would only think that mountain goats would be. We were able to sneek up to them and get 250 yards away where I took one shot and dropped her ( so much for the gun not working like Jeron claimed after missing two deer on his hunt). We then spent 8 hours quartering it up, making 6 trips 150 yards straight up hill packing the meat head and cape up to the 4-wheelers, tying everything on so that we could pack it and all of us and our gear down a very steep trail in the freezing cold dark to our camp. By then it was 8:00 at night and I was determined not to spend one more night in that tent so we through everything into the trailer and went home pulling in our driveway at 3:00 in the morning. It was definatly a hunt of a life time. I think that we will all remeber this hunt forever. It would not have been so memorable if we would have shot it opening morning close to the truck and gone home.

Shaylyn and Colton were so exited to finally get a buffalo and they were the best helpers so that we could get everything done fast before it got dark and the storm came in.

It was amazing how we were able to get everything tied to two 4-wheelers and get all of us and our gear down the steep trail in one trip
