Last weekend was opening weekend of the CO antelope season.

I was lucky enough to fill my doe tag at last light on Saturday afternoon. So, Case and I talked to mom and decided we'd head east to help the guys fill their tags. Case turned 4 years old in August and this would be his first big game hunt.

He had fun driving around looking for antelope for the others. We even chased and caught grasshoppers, threw rocks in a mud hole, looked for snakes in holes, and picked up the odd dung beetle as they scampered across the CO prairie.

Here are a few pictures of our day.

Time to get serious! Waiting for Mr. Ted to complete his stalk on this buck antelope. Here is where we killed time throwing rocks into a mud hole at almost a mile away.



Stalk and a successful shot completed. It was time to find the bullet entrance.



Picture time for the lucky hunter.

The BOYS!!!



I can't imagine why he asked to go hunting again this weekend. Case said he needed to talk it over with mom this morning.

Great to keep the young ones involved.

That area looks as dry as it does here.

The Best Of Times.....Good Job, Pop

Memories for a lifetime

The best way to make future hunters have fun. Looks like you did.

That's great. COngrats to all of you. I know that is special...

Wonderful job dads. Very glad that ya'll took time for other tihngs and did not make hunting too serious or like work.

Really proud of all of you for stepping up and taking time to do that with your kids. You are setting the example for all parents out there. Great pic's too!

Very well done gentleman.

Good parenting Gentlemen!

Great pictures -- and I am sure even better memories! Congrats all the way around.

Awesome, love seeing that! Congrats to the little man!

Passing a tradition on to the next generation! Great to see.

Best regards, D. Nelson

Thanks everyone! We had an absolute blast! Case said he wanted to go hunting again, so we're gonna try our luck in Oklahoma around Thanksgiving. We're thinking an afternoon hunt for a doe, or two, off of the alfalfa or wheat fields are in order.

I've purchased a ground blind and we'll take his nook and other items to pass the time!!

Thanks again,

What a great time!!!

Good luck in the Indian Territory!!
