Seems a bit unfair to win the 2024 Talkie Award for best hunt recap story so early in the year...but I think you've done it.
Truly incredible writing and photos. Epic story.
Congrats on a great deer season! Nice bucks! Thanks for sharing.
Making sure my wife has grandparent help at home w the kids while I'm away hunting always helps for sure
Lmk if you find a solution.
Mine just turned 3, it's like we have a workout program going moving dirt around the backyard...she digs holes, I fill em back up, she digs em up again...rinse and repeat, etc etc.
Admittedly much is my own fault by not getting her enough excercise...but some of...
