The Utah Tracker: Brooklyn's 2 Minute Deer Hunt

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ---Theodore Roosevelt 1910

Brooklyn's 2 Minute Deer Hunt

Brooklyn gave me two rules if she was to go hunting with me this year. Rule #1 Don't hike her very much and Rule #2 Bring plenty of treats. Just as it was getting light enough to shoot on opening day we happened to pull up to a group of does with this buck with them in Straight Canyon. I asked Brooklyn if she wanted him and she said yes. We stepped out of the truck and she got on the shooting sticks and it was over. It was the quickest hunt I have even been on.
