I took my Girlfriend of seven years up chinook pass for lunch today. It is her birthday and I wanted to do something special for her. I have known how I was going to propose for a few years now and today seamed like a great day to do it. My good buddy took the antler (with ring taped on it) up and placed it in a pre-determined spot. I then took a detour while on our way to lunch and took the GF for a hike. She found the antler and I proposed to her. She even said yes. lol Heres some pictures of the moment

And dont listen to all the negativity about not getting to hunt anymore, Ive hunted way more since I got married

Band · « **Reply #11 on:** January 24, 2011, 02:50:08 PM »

I'm just glad she didn't get so excited about finding the shed that she accidentally flung the ring into the next county before seeing it.

He was only about 20 minutes ahead of me. And as for the one less hunter saying. We have been together for 7 years and every year I hunt more and more. Also I taped the ring on the antler so that it would not fall off.

Way to cover your bases!

Nice job. Did something similar but during a backcountry fishing trip. Action was slow so I told her I was going to change her set-up. Had her swing her pole to me, tied the ring on, held on for dear life, and then showed it to her asking if she thought "it" would catch anything. That was 17 years ago and still married.

throttlejocky20 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 24, 2011, 04:22:32 PM »

Congrats I prpose a little different but I used the same ring LOL.

Finally. I bet the little monster found the horn before Nicole did.

Antlerking · « **Reply #22 on:** January 24, 2011, 04:25:18 PM »

Very creative, I bet she loved it!

That's funny you say that because that is exactly what happened. Cheyanne said "I found a horn mom I found a horn" and then Nichole looked over and seen it.

Shes only 2 years old, I think shes gonna be a great shed hunting partner. On Jan 7th 2011 I took her with me to go glass for some deer and we walked about 75 yards from the truck and were about to sit under a tree. The tree that we walked to had a fresh little 3pt shed laying under it. I will post pics of the shed later tonight.

JackOfAllTrades · « **Reply #25 on:** January 24, 2011, 04:47:52 PM »

I was hoping to read about an indecent proposal...

This is much better!

Live long and happy together.

Very cool! Congrats to both of you! I'm surprised Antlerking didn't pick it up after your buddy stashed it!

wastickslinger · « **Reply #27 on:** January 24, 2011, 05:53:56 PM »

Man I would have loved to fins that horn.

Cool idea!

Samr here my wife whants me to do it for our 15 year anniv. hide a shed and put a necklace or something on it. I told she was high and there was no way I would leave a shed in the woods!

DeerThug · « **Reply #34 on:** January 24, 2011, 07:22:49 PM »

The smile says it all...

A little adivse.. wait 3 years and then do something just as cool. 2 years after that somthing even cooler. 3 years top that. And so on. Just keep letting her know what the ring on the horn was all about and you two set. Too original..

A life time awaits....
And on Chinook to boot.... WAY cool!!!!
Congrats!
