Thanks for posting my dad's picture for me, I still don't have one of my deer. Will tell you though that if anyone wanted advice on an outfitter or good place to hunt in North West Utah I would highly recommend South Creek Outfitters!.

Great Story!! I hunt with my Dad every year, and really look forward to it.

He is 80 now and has two fake knees.

Last Saturday my brother shot a nice big bodied 4x4 that rolled 400 yards down into a really steep canyon.

He insisted on going down for pictures and ended up helping my nephew drag the head and front quarters out while me and my brother dragged out the hind quarters. Plus more than a mile to the truck

He was pretty proud of that, But my mom was pissed. He will go fishing at the drop of the hat, and I drop that hat every chance I get.

Harvey, What a heart warming story...I am glad that you and your Dad had such a good time and your Dads shooting was superb.....Precious memories like that are far and few between...
Congrats to both of you....

A note to Castnhunt....My Dad, now 82, also has two artificial knees..still golfed twice a week this past summer and plans to hunt deer in WI again this month....He has been sliding downhill for several years now, so my sons and I try to make each hunt as easy as possible for him...Last year he bagged a doe and the year before he bagged a 6 pt buck and an antlerless...I will add a prayer for your Dad and Harvey's Dad so these gentlemen can hunt as long as the Good Lord wills them to....

Thanks for your prayers Bogboy,

Dad is packing for a Desert muley/Flathead fishing trip to AZ right now. Does this sort of thing solo for a week at a time all the time. Pulled this one out of the Colorado river all by him self in the middle of the night not long ago. 55lb Flathead cat.
