Call me Annie Oakley

This morning I am incredibly behind on everything I need to get done but I told my dad I would post some pictures of my fun weekend. I will try not to bore anyone with all the details of the hunt. So here are the highlights:
1- it rained hard most the day Saturday which limited what we could see and other than two that mom saw far away we didn't see much-Sunday there were trucks stuck and sliding off the mountain
2- we had awesome friends and family-mom and dad, Kevin & Nicole, Laura, Paul & Linda, Art, Vic, some of Paul's friends from work, my kids & husband. My kids were awesome and spent a ton of time in the truck-all day some days
3-we got up by 5:30 every morning and didn't get to bed until after 10. Then I was up in the night nursing Lane. I'm pretty tired. I would run to find a buffalo and then hurry back to feed my child.
4-Monday I hiked to the ends of the earth - Jaden hiked with us for a bit and is an awesome hiker
5-shot the buffalo on Tuesday morning early after deciding to stay one more morning and then call it quits
So as ironic as this sounds and for those who have hated the idea of hunting-let me tell you that I have a much greater appreciation for animals. My father-in-law says "why ruin a good hunt by killing an animal" and I agree. The fun of the hunt was being so close to the animals, hiking with my husband and seeing him in his element, explaining things to my kids-like how the body works, the amazing world we live in, how easy we have it, etc. I didn't think I would get emotional about killing an animal but I did. I've learned that most good hunters have the same emotions. Killing isn't easy and I don't understand people who can carelessly do it.
I'm not sure what else to tell so I'll just show the pictures. I'm so glad to be home and to finally sleep.
