Lil' Bones adventure with Boneaddict

[Lil Bone]

It started out with a  three hour drive to Twisp, but it didn't take as long as expected because Boneaddict(dad) made it go fast.  We started out the day looking for a huge buck that a friend on here told us about.  We didn't find him but we found 4 others plus a bunch of does.  Dad showed me where some of my great great grandparents homesteaded.  We then travelled elsewhere and saw more bucks including a giant I got to look at through the spotting scope.  Dad says he was a record book buck.   I especially enjoyed looking through my binoculars all day.  We saw ALOT of deer, including a WHOLE bunch right at dark up by Big Twin Lake. 
We went out again this morning so dad could get better pics of the big buck but we didn't see him.  Instead we found another one with a wide spread.  I got to watch him a long time while Dad tried to stalk closer.  We saw only about 10 bucks today before we had to head home.  It was another beautiful morning out in the woods. We saw some bighorn sheep on our way home and we got to take pictures of them as well. Pics to follow as soon as I get a chance. 
Thanks,
Lil' Bone

Oh sure, admit to the world that I contributed to your delinquence by taking you out of school or play hookie in order to look for big bucks.

Best times of my life were playing hookie from school to hunt...

Sounds like fun guys...good for you.  ;()

That's ok - school should never interfere with a child's education!  My 9 year old and I love to do the exact same thing!

    Mom had her conference today (only missed out on half days) and she/the teacher wants a full report with pics for tomorrow for the class.  I thought you guys were tough demanding pics. LOL

[X-Force]

I think we need to see the report too! 

Its great you take your kid out of school Bone.

In 95' with the record humpy run in the Skagit my dad didn't let us kids go to school half of the time. 

And my worst heartbreak in high school wasn't a gf it was my dad saying i would be missing the late season because of bad grades.

[Buschingc]

Ah... you have a pretty smart 9 year old.. He can already type...

[fishseeker]

My kids loved it when I would wake them up early on a school day and tell them we was playing hookie! I think it helps them alot more than hurts. I would tell the box the night before I was calling in well, He would ask what lake and I'd tell him, He would be there with his 2 girls! LOL

Can't wait to see the pics..... the WA schools 10 days missed and you land in court makes it tough these days.

Hubby did yank our son for spring turkey last season...it was his first time licensed and all he wanted was to hunt Turkey.  Too bad the turkey they saw were all in peoples yards, he came home with ticks and that was about it 

[boneaddict]

Not too worried about it Runamuk.  Considering she is in the top %1 in her class in the nation and is in a whole bunch o f advanced classes, and she actually does know how to type mainly because of the research projects she is doing/has done, I'd almost like to go to court and brag. LOL  I am not sure she wants me to put any of my pics in or if she wants her own in here.  This is one of the bucks we saw this morning that was so far away she didn't get a pic, I'll post this one and she can let me know about the rest.....

 

[boneaddict]

I don't think she had her camera out when this guy walked by.  We were talking to a couple of guys that said they were familiar with the site.  If you guys read this, sign up.  Would love to hear your stories.

Right On! That is the best thing you could do to reward a young man for anything. The old man used to take me out several times a year to hunt and fish and those are some of my best memories in the field.

Great pic's but I am still waiting for lilbone to post hers

[big_bucks]

Who actually remembers any days in class from 3rd grade?

BUT

I bet we all remember when dad and/or mom busted us out of school to go hunting or fishing.
