On October 30th I took Gracie deer hunting with me for the first time. She was really excited and couldn't wait to try out her special deer hunting pants. We drove south of town and parked the truck near some fields frequented by whitetails. Gracie and I talked about our 'quiet voice', staying behind daddy, kneeling down, holding our ears, and other fun stuff and began to sneak to the edge of the field when the first doe came out of the trees. Gracie was a bit hesitant and I'm glad she's short, but I was able to coax her to crawl on her knees through the tall grass.

Gracie even wanted to stay with the deer while I walked back to the truck... She also helped dress the deer out.
In WA, John and I went out for a day looking for big bucks but all we found were big tracks and lots of scenery. We probably did about 10 miles that day.
Here's a photo of one of the guys I've gotten to know from WA, enjoyed hunting with over the last 5 years, and hope to have as a hunting buddy here in MT down the road.
