Hunting 20 something years later


For years and years and YEARS the Copsey men have traversed to Idaho to hunt deer.  The last hunt was somewhere around 20 years ago and this year they decided to do it again.  So they got a nice tent, and some hunting provisions and set out for a grand hunt.














We got a big ol' tent for the occasion, and it's huge.  But that will come in handy with our family to use in the summers!!!
 What's a photo of the Copsey men without this pose???



 They searched high and low and sadly no deer.  That was a bummer!!!



 One reason for no deer....wolf tracks.  I hear you "but wolves are only in Yellowstone!!!" Sadly the wolf population has become a bit overgrown, and it could be one of the causes of the decline in deer.  See the smaller tracks? That's a coyote.  The wolf track is as big as Rick's hand!



 They did come upon this old mining camp.



 Looks like the cabin is still in use, but the mine is not.



 Rick and Mike spent their last day exploring the camp.  It looks pretty cool!











The trip was one of visiting, remembering, and fun.  Who knows if or when this opportunity will come around again.
