Awesome mate !
Was getting antsy, waiting on this years story.
Old school cool, for sure.
More people need to experience, hunts like this.
Happy Thanksgiving, to you & yours.

Nothing like traveling light. Took almost half a day to break down Cookie's camp a couple days back.

WOW - y’all really do it up right. The experience must be worth its weight in gold every fall with nice bucks or bulls a great bonus when the stars line up. Thanks for taking us along on the ride.

There’s been years where we’ve filled the meat pole with every tag in camp filled, and years where no shots were fired. Many times my Dad, oldest uncle, or cousins their age won’t even buy a tag.
But the food, the stories, the domino games, jokes and pranks, and just being there together is worth the drive every time.
The last few years since my Grandad stopped going one of the best parts is the return home. To meet him for coffee and see him light up hearing the stories made on the latest trip and getting him fired up to tell tales of the old times up there in the 50’s and 60’s with hunting partners long past on just adds to the experience.
I think he was more proud of the buck I killed this year than I was, “ a real big one with fat over his quarters an inch and a half thick, like the bucks Ralph, Bob, and I used to kill up there when we first started going”. That really makes it worth it to me.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Ditto to the previous comments. Loved reading your story and the pics. I'm a pre 64 fan also. That is a fantastic mature Mule deer.
What is the knife in your pic? Looks like a carbon steel bladed folder.

Congratulations on both!

If you’re patient and don’t mind spending a couple hundred dollars on a pocketknife the GEC stuff are really great old style quality knives.
