I told Gavin that if this is what being a guide is like, then as a hunter, I think guiding stinks. He's lucky that I want him to enjoy himself and be successful.
Anyhow, I hunted yesterday, hoping that the first buck we saw would still be hanging around. Looked at a lot of good country, and saw a total of four does, and two bucks whose antlers together wouldn't equal the amount of bone on the small side of Gavin's buck. Oh well, that's why they call it hunting. Unless I make it out for a late whitetail or blacktail hunt, I guess I'm done for deer this year.
Good luck to everyone else on your late deer and elk hunts. Be safe.
