Default Time Flies

A few days ago I ran across this picture in the digital black hole they call a cloud. This is me with a deer my dad shot when I was tagging along somewhere around 35 years ago. That is his old reliable 7MM Remington Magnum that hunted almost exclusively with for almost four decades. This was a three point or better zone on a general mule deer tag in some pretty tough country. Now thanks to wolves and cats you couldn’t kill a mule deer here anymore.

Today I was hiking in the area and went to find the spot the picture was taken. My memory was pretty good and I was able to locate it. I propped my old 7MM Remington Magnum up in the spot and took a photo. It’s a bit sad to think that life goes away so quickly.

Well good for you! To remember and keep things straight! Monday I lay may dad to rest at 94 years old!He took me out for my first hunt, we did not shoot anything, but to have the whitetail's giving the flash tail! I can remember that hunt like it was yesterday! He was the person that showed me the pleasure of the hunt! And I still have it today! Took my son out gopher hunting today, and did good! Please remember, where you were and what you did! Love to Hunt!
