So Last year Cody and I were so excited we both drew out for the deer hunt but then we found out Cody was going to Iraq. I was really sad because this was my first hunt and I wanted him to be there. We had to turn Cody's tag back in and that is why he drew out this year. I ended up going hunting with my Dad and brother-in-law Brandon. We hiked and hiked all morning on opening day and then 500 yards away my Dad spotted some deer I couldn't even see horns. But when I looked through the scope I thought it was at least a three point. My Dad was yelling shoot it shoot it so I did but to all our surprise when we got over to it it was a massive two point.
I was kind of disappointed that it was a two point but I guess I couldn't complain when we got it back into cedar to the meat place it was bigger then all the other ones there. The funny thing is that I talked to Cody and told him that I got a little two point and sent a picture he was pretty shocked.
Thanks to the help of my Dad and Brandon we got it back to the truck which was two miles away from where I shot it.
This is my first deer and hopefully next year I will get a tag and hopefully out do this one. Cody went out hunting this year and hardly saw a thing. We went out yesterday after he got off work and had no luck and it was the last day. Hopefully next year we will have good luck like Ish. My deer last year was 22in wide at the widest point and the base of the horns was 5in around I don't really know how they measure them. My Dad said that it must have been an old deer with bad genetics. Hunting is a big thing in both Mine and Cody's families. I started going when I was really little and have always enjoyed it and the same with Cody. I am sure when our kids get old enough to go they will be right there with us. Happy Hunting
