Sunday Snapshot "Deer Hunting"

This weekend we headed to the mountains to go deer hunting. 

It was the opening weekend and a lot of other people had the same idea as us which made the hunting conditions difficult. 

We woke up early early early, 4am early, Saturday morning, to get in place before the deer started wandering. We pretty much hiked straight up a mountain, at 10,000 ft elevation. My lungs were burning! I haven't had that kind of a workout in a long time. The hunting was great up on that mountain but the views sure were! We hiked about 8 miles Saturday. My legs are so sore!

We hiked up and down some steep terrain. 

Gotta wear hunter orange to stay safe! 

 Due to the hot summer we have had, no fires were allowed. 

When the sun went down, we went to bed, which means we went to bed at 7:30! 

Friday night, Trevor woke up in the middle of the night and didn't know what time it was but he was wide awake so he assumed it was time to get up. He got up, got dressed, and headed out into the dark (keep in mind we were planning on getting up at 4:00 am to go hunting). He got in the truck to check the time, and realized it was only 11:30pm. We all laughed about it the next morning :)

We found the perfect little campsite right next to the river. 

We threw a couple watermelons into the river to keep them ice cold. 

Trevor didn't get a deer this weekend, but we still had a great time. We will probably end up going back in a few weeks to try our luck again!
