So last weekend while all the women folk ...and Dale....went up to SLC to shop for a Wedding Dress, Craft and flower supplies, and to pick out a wedding cake, Chris, Aden, and Bompa (my dad) went out hunting. Chris has wanted to hunt deer for, well I don't know how long, but has been dieing to go since he joined our hunt happy family :). Because of funds and bad timeing he hasn't been able to go deer hunting for the last few years. Well this year we didn't think he would get to go yet again...but thanks to my Uncle Gary getting depravation doe tags, Chris was able to go. They went out first thing Saturday morning, the first deer they saw was a mix of bucks and does...Chris was afraid he didn't have a clear shot and didn't want to hit one of the other deer and they took off before he even took a shot. Feeling slightly defeated they moved to a different area and found some deer bouncing along. Chris made a fantastic shot! This doe was mid bounce when he shot it in the perfect kill area. The bullet angled up and shattered the spine, killing her instantly and dropping her mid bounce. She is a nice sized doe and will be a great contribution to our food storage. Congratulations Chris on your first successful deer hunt, and a special thanks to Gary and Dad for your making this possible. I know it means the world to Chris.

well that is wonderful Chris. Jim is jealous because we were unable to bring our guns through Canada and therefore all of the guns are at home at the Compton's. He wishes he could hunt.
I couldn't see the picture clearly on chris' phone but it really is a nice shot. I was glad to see you both. I love you so much.
