This picture had me laughing hard.? It reminded me of my first deer.? My younger brother and I got our first deer about 15 minutes apart from each other….and no it doesn’t matter who was first…or who’s had the bigger rack.? Anyway, we drug these out?and packed our stuff up to go.??The rest of our hunting crew were still hunting?so we decided we would take the deer with us to start butchering them.? We took my brothers car …which was a hatchback not much better than the one in this photo.? We had all our gear and both deer stuffed in the back of the car.?? We were cruising down the canyon when this big 4×4 rig with rear window?hunting decals, mudders, loaded with hunters (no game?in the bed) flew by us.? Well they quickly hit the brakes till we caught up to them and just drove along us looking in the back of the car….they weren’t even laughing thats how bewildered they were about being outhunted by a two wheel drive car with two young kids in the car.
I might also add that upon arriving home my brother informed me he had a school dance he had to go to and they were starting early so he couldn’t help me skin and butcher the deer….nice Travis.? Thanks for letting me take care of both of them.
In this picture somebody got an elk while only taking a hatchback car…much different than the elk hunting I am familiar with…I would just drive by full of jealousy also.

Shane, we all remember I was first and my buck was bigger…size does matter. I am the youngest of the brother’s, but I was the first to tag a deer. The best part of making you clean up the deer was when my date picked me up for the school dance, my future wife was driving us and waited in the car while my date came in for pictures and whatever else Mom made us do. Brandi, my wife, was sitting alone in the car since she had not picked up her date yet and Shane drug the deer across the driveway to hang it in the garage. She claims she still has nightmares about that! Good times! I will never forget the look on the hunters faces in the truck. It was classic and I bet we are the only people that have crammed 2 deer in the back of a hatchback like that. This picture is classic and I can see us doing something like that as well. What a great hunt!
[…] About a half hour after my shot we heard another shot where Shane had set up. He tagged his first deer as well that day taking a rather small 2 point. Instead of taking his deer up to the top of the ridge like we did for mine, we decided to take it to the bottom and drive a car around to pick it up. Now, I had a school dance that night so i knew I would not be able to stay up hunting the whole day. Shane wanted to get down as quick as he could to start cutting up the deer. Since I knew I had to be home early I drove my Chevy Spectrum up to the ridge. The Spectrum was all I could afford in High chool and it was a little 2 door hatchback, that had a cool horn that played over 20 different songs. We crammed my deer into the back of the Spectrum and my dad jumped in and headed to the bottom of the ridge to meet us with Shane’s deer. Shane and I grabbed his deer and started making our way down. When we got to the bottom we could hear my dad playing the songs on my horn and we were able to locate him. Somehow we crammed the second deer into the hatchback and Shane and I were on our way.
