"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

Deer Hunt 2022


       

       This year was a pretty fun deer season. Bron had only one day to hunt with his muzzleloader because of our moose tag. He shot this buck above Holden on the Pahvant Unit. A funny thing happened when I grabbed it by its antlers, it jumped up from the dead and took off! Bron had to finish him off. Brook's hunt only lasted opening morning. She shot this buck behind Redmond Lake on the Nebo Unit. I think she has fun from time to time hunting with her dad. Bron had a deer and elk tag in Colorado as well. We came home empty handed but made some good memories. We stayed in a wall tent. We messed up on a good buck and can't believe he didn't get a shot off. It was my mistake. Bron missed a 600 yard shot at a 5x5 bull.  Good Times!
