I drew a good Idaho tag, went hunting for mule deer in the snake river breaks. I know some people might shake their head at the deer i decided on ‘cause I KNOW there’s some bigger ones in there
but I was really happy about this one. I hiked 15 difficult miles in 2.5 days, not a giant but I WORKED for this one. I know I could have held out for a bigger one but I don’t care, I’m super stoked about it! Also, my kids are a little extra difficult so after a few days gone a guy gets to feelin guilty about being away from the wife and kids. I texted my wife all the details, after all the niceties she said she’s going hunting (here in Wa) in the morning whether anyone else goes or not! So I quartered the deer up, hiked him back to my truck, headed to camp, slept good, next morning broke camp and on the way home headed to my favorite breakfast spot in Lewiston. While I was eating, I got a text from my wife, just a picture of her and a blacktail
the biggest blacktail either of us have ever been lucky enough to get and I couldn’t be more proud of her! Here they are
