Got Skunked!
Not for the normal reasons however. The reason for my failure:


There was a lot of kicked up dust and random singing of Sugarland, a whole lot of "what ifs", and "look at this". There was not any chance I'd get within shooting range and filling either of my tags on my SE Colorado Pronhorn hunt. However, it was probably one of the best hunts I've ever been on and probably the most memorable to date.

Taylor - don't say that. It can be done.

The wife and I nailed two does with four kids (3, 4, 5, and 6) in tow last year in Wyoming.


Back in 2006 we snuck up on a herd and the wife killed this buck. We had our 3-year old daughter with us.


It's tougher, and the goats have to be in just the right spot, but you can pull it off. It's loads of fun along with the frustration. Wink

Way to go, you just lived the dream of all hunting dads (and mums)! Now for a few optimizations for next year's hunt... Wink

She isn't my kid biologicly but her Mom and I've been dating for over a year. I'll claim her that is for sure. I really enjoy having her around to hang with me.
