I accompanied a couple of friends on a bambi extermination this past weekend. I have never hunted before, so I thought it would be an enlightening experience. Instead of opting to be a trigger man, I chose to loosely document the event with my camera. We got an early start and spotted a buck within the first hour of hiking. We split in to two groups to try and better the odds of flushing the deer into each other's line of sight. My friend Aaron and I tracked a small herd for a few hours, only to find out later that our compadre Shawn had already taken down the buck we were searching for. Unfortunately, we did not know this until we had already hiked down the mountain. He saw us in the valley below and signaled that he had made a kill. We then trudged back up the path we had taken a few hours before to help haul the deer out. The good part about this whole thing is that the deer is going to be processed and consumed over the next few months. So rest easy; we just went shopping for food, but in a much cooler store.

This is Cutler Lake. Off on the horizon is Yellowstone Park.

That's my hunting face. Extreme.

This is Earl. Sorry Earl.

Note: Molly was glad she was not able to be in attendance.
