Well, we're back. Actually, we have been home since about one in the morning on Sunday. After two days waking up to 3 + in. of snow which then melted into a clay, mucky, muddy mess (It also rained most of the time it was not snowing.) We decided that sticking around to see if the forecast of 9 inches of snow was right was not worth the risk of getting snowed in without enough diapers for Little Bear. Yep, that's right we took "B" along on our hunting trip and let me tell you, I am so proud of him! He is an awesome camper and he is definitely going to make his Daddy proud someday when he is old enough to actually participate and not just come along for the ride.
As for the antelope, the numbers seemed to be down quite abit from previous years. Because I stayed back at the campsite the first day with "B" all I saw was a huge flock of cranes. On the second day, the only goats I saw were through a set of binoculars about a 4 mile hike away. Now on a nice fall day, I would have been up for that in a heartbeat, but this was a hike through a couple of inches of mud on a 30 degree day in the rain/sleet. So I passed on this hoping to go after the next group of antelope. Unfortunately that next group never came.
Big bird did get a doe aswell as another of our hunting partners and one lucky hunter even got his buck. As for the other 5 of us, we will have to wait until next year.
